AI Tournament — Qualification Registration

Organized by Boston Intellectuals, Ivy Standard, and the Harvard Students Team, the AI Tournament follows the standards of the world's leading AI competitions. Two tracks: the AI Challenge — proctored individual rounds in machine learning, natural language processing, and computer vision (Round 1 requires no coding; Round 2 is a practical Python round) — and the AI Project — build and defend your own AI solution to a real-world problem before a judging panel.

The program runs for 3 days, 9:00 AM – 1:00/1:30 PM daily. Includes Harvard visits, workshops, an official campus tour, and a visit to the Harvard Museum.

All participants must register below for qualification. Pre-registration is required; no prior AI experience is needed for the AI Challenge Round 1. Registration fee: $595 — free when joining the Ivy League Tour full package as a school group.

Responsible AI Policy — Read & Accept

Our AI-use policy follows the world's leading AI competitions and has three tiers:

1. Preparation — AI tools ENCOURAGED. Use ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, online courses, and open resources freely to learn and practice before the event.

2. AI Project — AI tools ALLOWED WITH DISCLOSURE. You may use AI assistants and pre-trained models in your project, but every use must be cited and disclosed, the core work must be your own, and you must be able to explain every part of your system in a technical interview.

3. Proctored Challenge rounds — AI tools FORBIDDEN. During the Individual Contest, use of ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini, or any AI assistant is strictly prohibited. Rounds are supervised with screen monitoring; violations lead to disqualification.
