This year’s challenge invites students to:

• Use AI tools, like Large Language Models (LLMs), to analyze and organize real insurance data.
• Engineer smart prompts to extract insights from public sources.
• Contribute to the development of data standards that will be used throughout the global insurance industry.
• Whether you're pursuing a career in insurance, data analytics, or other AI-driven fields, this is a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience, boost your resume, and earn industry recognition — plus win some cash.
