Hyderabad, Telangana: A student team from KLH Aziznagar campus has emerged as a winner in the Artificial Intelligence (AI) domain at Hackvibes 2.0, a national-level hackathon. This recognition was for their 'VeriMind' platform, designed to verify the reliability of AI-generated information.
The hackathon attracted 234 teams from across the nation, with the KLH team earning recognition for VeriMind, an AI hallucination verification platform. It helps users assess the reliability of information generated by AI systems.
The winning team comprised B.Tech students from KLH: Kuppala Jasmitha, Gorugantula Gayathri, and Vuppala Rithvik. They addressed a growing challenge in AI adoption, where systems can generate information that appears convincing but may be inaccurate, contradictory, or unsupported by evidence.
