Students from the University of Dunaújváros are also taking part in the LEXI AI Generation Contest competition.

The aim of the international competition that has been launched at the University of Pécs on 8th October is to point out the fact that applied artificial intelligence does not require the contribution of software engineers today. Future legal practitioners, economists, and various business professionals are already having the IT and industry skills/competences that make them able to use AI business applications after their graduation.


Besides the University of Dunaújváros several Hungarian higher education institutions joined the international competition. There is also a great interest from abroad: universities in Russia, the Czech Republic, Slovenia, Slovakia, Romania, Poland, Lithuania and Estonia are also participating in the competition.
