Advancing to IOAI Training and Selection Programme

All top 40 scorers in MAIO 2025 have been invited to our International Olympiad of Artificial Intelligence Training and Selection programme that begun on the week of March 22 and will run until the end of July. Students will be receiving weekly classes and lab assignments through a semester-long syllabus specifically designed as a crash course in machine learning and deep learning fundamentals, taking into account high school students have not learnt the prerequisite subjects for AI beforehand. All invitees have further opportunity for selection into the national team to attend IOAI 2025 @ Beijing regardless of their standing in MAIO 2025.

Thank you to everyone who took the time and energy to prepare for and participate in the first Malaysia AI Olympiad. I hope that through taking part in MAIO 2025, you have gained more exposure on what marvellous things are possible in the field of AI. Wish everyone a journey of continuous learning!
