Bangladesh Artificial Intelligence Olympiad (BdAIO) is a national-level competition organized to identify, train, and promote the country’s most promising young talents in the field of Artificial Intelligence. As the primary qualifying gateway, this event selects the students who will represent the nation on the global stage. Top performers from the national round will earn the prestigious opportunity to join the Bangladesh National Team and compete at the Asia-Pacific Olympiad on Artificial Intelligence (APOAI) in June 2026, as well as the International Olympiad on Artificial Intelligence (IOAI) in August 2026. This initiative aims to foster a deep understanding of AI technologies—including machine learning, neural networks, and computer vision—aligning the skills of Bangladeshi students with global scientific standards.
