Who are we?

We are a group of visionary individuals forming the LERAI Foundation, a non-governmental and non-profit organization registered in Bulgaria.

Aleks, Elena, Lora, Iva and Rositsa, known as “The Founders” in official documents and web presence, established the IOAI in 2024, setting the stage for an annual international competition aimed at nurturing young talents in the rapidly evolving field of artificial intelligence.

We are dedicated to expanding the scope of AI-related events, aiming to engage and educate a broader audience about the transformative power of artificial intelligence. We plan to organize a diverse array of events, including AI-focused hackathons, workshops, and conferences, to foster hands-on learning experiences, encourage networking among AI enthusiasts, and showcase the latest developments and ethical considerations in the field. These events are designed to deepen understanding, stimulate innovation, and promote responsible AI development across various sectors.
