Audio Transcription + Accessible Summary — Converts speech to text + generates searchable summaries for deaf/hard-of-hearing users
TRACK 3: Ethical AI & Bias Detection
1. Resume Screening Bias Audit — Test AI with identical résumés but different names (Sarah vs. Syed). Show the bias, propose fixes with human oversight. 2. Loan Approval Algorithm Bias — Identify how AI discriminates in lending by zip code/demographics. Propose fixes with human approval gates. 3. Recommendation Algorithm Bias — Show how social media algos create echo chambers. Propose diversification + transparency + human override options.

Judging Rubric
Projects will be evaluated by a panel of industry judges across four dimensions:
Technical Implementation: Does the solution work? Is the AI integration functional and well-scoped?
Human-AI Collaboration: How effectively does the solution balance automation with meaningful human oversight or accessibility?
Impact & Relevance: Does the project address a real problem within the chosen track?
Presentation & Demo: Is the solution clearly communicated and demonstrated within the time allotted?
Each dimension is scored on a scale of 1–5.
Judges: Suyash Saxena, Pronnoy Goswami, and Saurabh Yergattikar.
