About the Challenge

The AINS Hackathon is a 2-week national innovation sprint where Tunisia’s brightest minds build AI-powered solutions to real-world challenges.
Organised by the IEEE Computer Society Chapter at INSAT, it runs in parallel with the Artificial Intelligence National Summit (AINS).

Whether you're tackling legal complexity, fighting misinformation, or advancing Tunisian dialect technologies, this hackathon is your opportunity to make AI meaningful, local, and impactful.

Choose from Three Impact Tracks:

🏛️ Legal & Administrative Innovation
Build tools that make Tunisia’s legal and bureaucratic systems more accessible to all.

🛡️ Anti-Scam & Misinformation Detection
Develop smart agents that detect, verify, or explain scams and fake news in text, voice, or images.

🗣️ Tunisian Dialect-Aware AI
Create AI systems that understand and communicate in Tunisian dialect — for farmers, students, elders, and beyond.
