With no fewer than 15 crack teams from across the world already registered, sikka.ai has extended the signup deadline to 11:59 PM PDT on Wednesday, July 7, so that no interested data scientist shall be left out of the quest for over $10,000 in cash to be awarded across the top four finishers. To test your wits against some of the most brilliant minds in artificial intelligence and predictive analytics, [register here](https://sikkasoft.com/AI-Model-Hackathon.html). “We live in a world where our superheroes are AI model builders,” said CEO and Founder Vijay Sikka. “To help pave the way to Self-Driving Practice, we have organized this hackathon, which is the first of its kind in the dental industry. I’m proud to know that some of the greatest minds from companies in the U.S. and internationally are competing.” With apologies to the Tour de France, Wimbledon and the NBA Finals, sikka.ai may just have the fiercest competition out there during the month of July. And you can do it all from the comfort of your favorite chair. But rest up ahead of time, as you’ve only got one week to put together the one model to rule them all and seize the mantle of AI model-building queen or king! [Register today](https://sikkasoft.com/AI-Model-Hackathon.html).
