OpenAI Codex x AIAT Hackathon Thailand

Wellness AI in the Post-AGI Era — a 3-day hybrid hackathon co-organized by OpenAI Codex and AIAT Wellness AI in the Post-AGI Era AI development is accelerating like never before, reshaping every sector — including human wellness. As the world moves toward Artificial General Intelligence, how will AI redefine the way we approach health, mental wellbeing, and personal growth? Join the OpenAI Codex × AIAT Hackathon Bangkok, a hybrid hackathon spanning roughly 3 days: Online prep sessions and 1 overnight onsite day at The Pine Resort outside Bangkok. Together we'll explore and build the future of Wellness AI — not just using AI to solve today's health challenges, but envisioning AI's potential in the post-AGI landscape across ethics, personalized care, and the redefinition of what it means to live well in an era where AI lives alongside humans. Co-organized by the Artificial Intelligence Association of Thailand (AIAT) and OpenAI Codex. The event will be honoured by Prof. Dr Yodchanan Wongsawat, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Higher Education, Science, Research and Innovation (MHESI), who will preside over the ceremony and serve on the panel of judges in the final round. The hackathon theme aligns directly with Thailand's national "Wellness Thailand" strategy under MHESI, which positions wellness as a new engine of economic growth linked to AI and semiconductors. Theme: Wellness AI in the Post-AGI Era "Wellness for All" is intentionally broad. Examples include: Personalized medicine and clinical careMental health and digital therapeuticsElderly care and aging societiesHealth tourism, food, and nutritionPublic health and underserved populationsEthical frameworks and human–AI collaboration for wellbeing The more your idea matters specifically in a post-AGI world, the more weight it carries in selection.
