The Project AIMS (AI against Modern Slavery) Hackathon 2025 is a global online innovation competition that brings developers, entrepreneurs, researchers, and human rights advocates to develop AI-driven solutions to combat modern slavery. This hackathon aims to raise public awareness of modern slavery, improve participants’ technical and domain expertise, and foster interdisciplinary collaboration. The event seeks to accelerate the impact and adoption of open-source tools created through Project AIMS, a pioneering initiative that uses large language models (LLMs) to benchmark and analyse modern slavery statements issued by major corporations, thereby promoting transparency, accountability, and ethical business practices.
