Artificial Intelligence (AI) Coalition 

The Artificial Intelligence (AI) Coalition provides a professional platform for business, research, academia, and government in the field of AI. The founders of the AI Coalition intend to jointly define the directions and framework for the development of AI in Hungary, providing a permanent professional and collaborative forum between AI developers, market and public actors representing the user side of AI, academia, professional organisations, and public institutions.   

The AI Challenge was established with the aim of raising awareness of AI. The campaign has introduced more than 4.5 million Hungarian citizens to artificial intelligence through exhibitions and events, and 100,000 of them have learned the basics through free online tutorials. As part of the AI Challenge, for the first time, we have created a unique and free AI tutorial, a universally available, free, home-grown online course. Created by experts from ELTE, the “Introduction to Artificial Intelligence” tutorial gives users a basic insight into the exciting world of artificial intelligence, and provides case studies and success stories to help them understand the applications of the technology.  ELTE is a founding member of the Coalition, Lénárd DARÁZS, Vice-Rector for General Affairs leads the Coalition’s Working Group on Regulation and Ethical Frameworks.
