Want to work with industry leaders? You still have a chance. 📢

During the MIT Universal AI Summit, at the Corporate Challenge Session, we launched recruitment for The Rolling Hackathon — an initiative where teams build products with a real chance of being implemented.

We’re excited to organize this program together with AITinkerers, Fundacja Quantum AI, and AI_Devs.

It’s a space where teams tackle specific challenges from organizations such as PZU, Aliaxis, Asseco, and TeatrStudio Each of them faces a different problem — from data prediction and analysis to new approaches to content and AI applications. 💼

The program will run over several months: from recruitment, through teamwork, to intensive collaboration with mentors.

Why participate?
👉 Solve real market problems by addressing actual business needs, ranging from AI-driven demand forecasting to intellectual property tracking.
👉 The process ensures access to direct feedback, providing critical insights from challenge givers, experienced coaches, and professional investors.
👉 By building alongside other talented innovators rather than in isolation, the program fosters cohort collaboration and significant professional growth.
👉 It is an ideal environment to meet potential co-founders and expand a professional network within the global AI ecosystem, turning innovation into a market-ready reality.

📅 Do you know these key dates?
Application Deadline: May 31, 2026.
Builder Meetings: June – August 2026.
Demo Day: October 2026.

During Demo Day, teams will showcase the results of their work — solutions that could make it to market.

Ready for a new challenge? Recruitment is now open. If you want to build something that goes beyond the project stage, now is the time to join.

How would we sum up the MIT UniversAI Summit? 🤔

It was a conference where discussions about the development of artificial intelligence clearly gained momentum. Bold claims, diverse perspectives, and one shared conviction — the greatest transformation of our time is coming.

Experts sought to answer some key questions:
➡️ Will AI be just a tool… or something more?
➡️ How can we harness its potential responsibly?
➡️ Are we ready for the pace of these changes?

The MIT Universal AI Summit is behind us, but let’s take a moment to reflect on those two intense days 🔥

It was a time filled with conversations and the exchange of experiences that often took place offstage, behind the scenes, between sessions, and over coffee.

These conversations touched on many specific topics and diverse perspectives, from implementation challenges to the areas where AI is accelerating most rapidly today 🗨️

Thank you to everyone who took part in our conference, including Nationale-Nederlanden, whose support helped us reach the academic community and invite 500 students to the event. This gave them access to insights from global leaders and the opportunity to shape their future in the field of AI.

And if you weren’t there with us, take a look at how it went. Below are a few photos that best capture the atmosphere of the event. 📸

How do you kick off an AI conference without talking about AI?

At the MIT Universal AI Summit, we began with a video created entirely using AI. Not as a demonstration of the technology, but as a way to set the vision for the summit.

It told a story about where we stand today and the questions that will shape our future in the years ahead.

This wasn’t a traditional opening. It was a deliberate narrative choice, not just a showcase of capabilities, but a way to frame the conversation itself.

We’d like to thank Matt Szymanowski for bringing such energy to this story, which helped define the tone of the entire event. 🦬
