At the first state hackathon Diia.AIContest, a winner received a grant to enhance AI technology for translating official documents in the Diia app. The Ministry of Digital Transformation shared the outcomes of the event.
Over three weeks, teams developed new AI-based products for Diia. A total of 270 participants applied for the hackathon, with 10 teams presenting the best ideas making it to the finals. Winning teams have a chance to implement their projects for citizens in Diia, noted Danilo Tsyvok, head of the AI solutions development center at the Ministry.
The three winning teams received grants totaling $8,000 and the opportunity to integrate their solutions after further refinement into the Diia app.
The first place was awarded to the developers of an AI translator that simplifies the process of translating and notarizing documents, making it fully digital.
The second place went to a service that captures parking violations using photographs and geolocation.
Third place was taken by creators of a legal document constructor that allows citizens to quickly create legally sound contracts without expensive lawyers.
It should be noted that the Ministry of Digital Transformation and NVIDIA have begun implementing a national infrastructure based on AI technologies.
