AaltoAI Hackathon: Data Sovereignty & Responsible AI

Data has become the most valuable asset organizations run on. As GDPR and the EU AI Act tighten, the question isn't just "can we build it?" anymore. It's "who controls the data, and can we trust the AI?" This is your chance to work on tech that actually matters, real problems around privacy, trust, and control that European companies are wrestling with right now. Over one weekend, you'll go from a challenge brief to a working prototype, alongside Finland's best technical talent, mentored directly by engineers from the partner companies who brought the problems to the table. Join Finland's largest student-led AI community for a weekend of building AI systems that don't just work, but also earn trust.
