The Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine, together with EPAM Ukraine and WINWIN AI Center of Excellence, successfully held the first Diia.AIContest hackathon, where a number of innovative artificial intelligence-based services were developed that may appear in the "Diia" application. This was reported by the Ministry of Digital Transformation, writes UNN.
Details
The goal of the three-week event, which involved 270 participants, was to create new AI products for the public services ecosystem. Ten teams with the strongest prototypes reached the final. Three winners received grants totaling $8,000, support from mentors, and, most importantly, the opportunity to implement their developments in "Diia."
Winners and innovative services
First place was taken by the team "The role of LLMs is overestimated" for their AI translator for official document approval. The service makes the process of translation and notarization of personal documents completely digital and accessible through "Diia."
Second place went to the DiAI team with a service that will allow citizens to record parking violations using photos and geolocation, which promises to reduce traffic jams and increase the number of available parking spaces.
Third place was won by the ShiftWave AI team, which developed an AI legal document constructor that will allow users to create legally sound contracts without the expense of lawyers. Among other innovative solutions presented at the hackathon, the developers also created an AI navigator for utility services, a service for checking photos for documents for "Diia," and a digital family tree "Rodovid."
Over 20 years in Ukraine, we at EPAM have become convinced: true change requires not only technical skills but also drive, and Diia.AIContest clearly confirmed this. This hackathon proved that Ukraine has strong potential in developing AI solutions in the field of public services.
He also noted the high intensity of the teams' work, illustrating it with figures: 800 million tokens and 120 thousand requests passed through the EPAM AI/Run platform alone.
