The IBM Watson AI XPRIZE is a unique and open competition. The competition launched over four years ago and started off with over 150 registered teams from around the globe - all using AI to tackle challenges facing humanity. The competition has helped to accelerate the dialogue around AI for Good by providing concrete proof points of human and machine collaboration. After much consideration - the competition has been extended and will now culminate in 2021. Given the current global crisis with COVID-19 - this extension provides the top teams in the competition more time to continue to work on their products and achieve real-world impact. XPRIZE will provide more details about the extension and the final phase of the competition in the coming months.
