This is a free event open to all (registration required). Closing Date for Entries: Friday July 26th 2013 This is the eleventh in a series of competitions for live demonstrations of applications that show 'Progress Towards Machine Intelligence' organized by the British Computer Society Specialist Group on Artificial Intelligence (SGAI) in association with AKRI Ltd. The demonstration can be of either software (e.g. a question- answering system or a speech recognition system) or hardware (e.g. a mobile robot).

Entry Fee: There is no entry fee. Prize: A permanent trophy awarded for one year plus a £500 cash prize.
