Can You Beat the Machine? A CATALYST Competition

Artificial intelligence is getting smarter by the second. But when it comes to wit, logic, and language — can a machine outsmart you?

Introducing the Beat the Machine Competition, a fast-paced online challenge where students go head-to-head with a trained AI designed to mislead. The task? Outsmart the machine using nothing but your critical thinking, strategy, and linguistic precision.

This isn’t about rote knowledge or tricky trivia. It’s about spotting patterns, asking sharp questions, and making smart decisions under pressure. If you think fast and love a challenge, this is your moment.
