BdAIO 2024
In 2024, the Bangladesh Artificial Intelligence Olympiad (BdAIO) was founded with a singular mission: to identify and nurture the next generation of AI innovators. At a time when AI was shifting from a buzzword to a fundamental shift in technology, BdAIO 2024 provided the first formal platform for Bangladeshi students to test their mettle against global standards.
