ARCathon
Global AI Competition
World Record Attempt
ARCathon, hosted from Davos, Switzerland, is a global AI competition. This highly challenging event welcomes participants to tackle the Abstraction and Reasoning Corpus (ARC) challenge unsolvable for the most advanced AI models currently available. The ARC problem, an intelligence test for algorithms, was created by François Chollet, a Google Senior Staff Engineer and Co-Host of ARCathon.
Self-learning Systems
ARCathon challenges AI with over 1,000 tasks, including 100 secret puzzles, to break the world record of 34%. Our goal is to develop AI that can independently tackle problems it hasn't encountered before. Learn more about ARC on our ARC Page, as well as in Chollet's pioneering 2019 paper On the Measure of Intelligence.
