Want to compete solving real-world problems for cash prizes?

AWS released their AI League, which pairs up real-world businesses that have specific problems they want solved with a league of smart people that want to compete to solve these problems.

It's refreshing, especially right now, to see people competing to solve actual problems with AI instead of just cramping it in everything because it's trending.

With that said, I also would hesitate to say the solution for any problem presented is an AI-related solution, but Amazon is the one selling the shovels in the AI gold rush, so why not run a competition to see who can most effectively buy their product while solving the problem.

I know I sound a bit cynical, but in reality, I am somewhat interested in forming a team to tackle these problems and compete in the league.

Unfortunately, I do not know what the problems are or exactly what a competition looks like yet, but I am sure we will know soon enough.

If you are interested in joining me to compete, let me know; it could be a good time.
