C:\>DIR Global ‘Agentic Regulator’ Hackathon
The gap in AI adoption is growing. Help to bridge that gap at the C:\>DIR Global ‘Agentic Regulator’ Hackathon - the first ever hackathon to build agentic AI solutions for public authorities.
What?
The C:\>DIR Global ‘Agentic Regulator’ Hackathon brings together regulators, AI researchers, engineers, academics, financial institutions, FinTechs, infrastructure providers, and technology partners to create agentic AI solutions for regulators.
The hackathon enables participants to work with rich problem spaces, synthetic datasets, regulatory context, and expert mentors to create concept notes (in the preliminary round) and agentic AI prototypes (in the final round) that can be deployed to enhance and improve policymaking, regulation, authorisation/licensing, supervisory and enforcement processes, as well as facilitate inter-agency and cross-regulatory coordination and collaboration.
Why?
Agentic AI is increasingly disrupting financial systems and the wider digital economy. AI agents are being used to automate decisions, execute complex workflows, transfer value, monitor markets, and interact with consumers. All at machine speed.
As agentic AI transforms industries, public authorities including financial and non-financial regulators (e.g. data, communications, competition regulators) need to adopt agentic AI capabilities themselves to keep pace, to maintain trust and to ensure effective policymaking, regulation, supervision and governance.
This hackathon is designed to enable multi-disciplinary teams to leverage agentic AI to build prototypes in order to support real regulatory and policy workflows all over the world.
How?
By selecting one or multiple of the below problem spaces:
Who?
We invite participants to form collaborative teams and also welcome applications from existing regulatory authorities, innovative companies and organisations, as well as researchers, experts, entrepreneurs and students from around the world.
