Hack the Now & Next: AI edition

Hack the Now & Next Hackathon: AI Edition

How can we hack today’s biggest problems- like- how do we make driving safer? How can doctors better treat their patients? Or perhaps, how do we save our planet from global warming? The answer is- we can- with Artificial Intelligence. AI is no longer ‘coming soon’- it’s here now – allowing us to innovate and change the world.

Come learn, innovate and get inspired with us! We’ll have several people from Globant including members of our Innovation Team on deck throughout the event.
