The shorter the time, the lower the risk to people. For some time now, the SLF has been looking for a solution to speed up the currently paper-based process of recording and assessing avalanche situations. The idea was to use AI to automatically evaluate photos taken by mountain guides with their smartphones. In just 36 hours, the winning team used existing AI models and algorithms for driverless driving to develop a solution that impressed the judges. For example, the solution can determine whether a dust avalanche is a harmless local event or a harbinger of a dangerous situation in a larger area that needs to be addressed with closures and blasting. Second place went to Team Strike, which solved a challenge set by sponsor DMI. <\/p><div id=\"great-3675236332\" class=\"great-fullsize-content-en great-entity-placement\" style=\"margin-bottom: 20px;\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=6ZGXMPyM-nU\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"banner_26-04_29_1200x150\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26-04_29_1200x150-1.jpg\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26-04_29_1200x150-1.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26-04_29_1200x150-1-400x50.jpg 400w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26-04_29_1200x150-1-768x96.jpg 768w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26-04_29_1200x150-1-100x13.jpg 100w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26-04_29_1200x150-1-480x60.jpg 480w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26-04_29_1200x150-1-640x80.jpg 640w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26-04_29_1200x150-1-720x90.jpg 720w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26-04_29_1200x150-1-960x120.jpg 960w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26-04_29_1200x150-1-1168x146.jpg 1168w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26-04_29_1200x150-1-18x2.jpg 18w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26-04_29_1200x150-1-600x75.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" width=\"1200\" height=\"150\"  style=\" max-width: 100%; height: auto;\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Companies migrating to a new generation of software, such as S\/4, must change the structure of their data in order to transfer it to the new system. Solving this task at the level of the data itself is error-prone. The way through the application level is more reliable, but requires business objects. If new ones need to be created, it takes time and effort and requires a good deal of expertise. Team Strike's solution uses AI-powered chatbots to suggest the design of the objects and help with implementation\u2014all using natural language input. \"We will certainly incorporate this approach into our own product development,\" emphasized Thomas Failer, founder and CEO of DMI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-image stk-block-image stk-block stk-ff93c64\" data-block-id=\"ff93c64\"><style>.stk-ff93c64 .stk-img-figcaption{text-align:center !important;}.stk-ff93c64 .stk-img-wrapper{width:40% !important;}<\/style><figure><span class=\"stk-img-wrapper stk-image--shape-stretch\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"stk-img wp-image-149204\" src=\"https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/JiVS-Hackathon-1.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"708\" srcset=\"https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/JiVS-Hackathon-1.jpg 500w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/JiVS-Hackathon-1-282x400.jpg 282w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/JiVS-Hackathon-1-100x142.jpg 100w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/JiVS-Hackathon-1-480x680.jpg 480w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/JiVS-Hackathon-1-8x12.jpg 8w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/span><figcaption class=\"stk-img-figcaption\">Who is leading whom?

The solution was not only presented to the judges, but also tested in Davos. The team took the robot for a walk along the promenade and gave it various tasks. \"Humanoid robots like this will soon find their way into the service sector, including hospitals and care facilities,\" says Thomas Failer. The highlight for the hacker teams was their participation in the evening event of the Digital Lounge @Davos 2025 on January 22 at the Guggerbach Center in Davos. There, they benefited from discussions with leading Swiss and international AI experts and were able to network with potential future employers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thomas Failer invited around 100 managers from Swiss and international companies to the Digital Lounge. Together with leading researchers, they discussed the status and future of AI development, realistic application scenarios, as well as the opportunities and limitations of this technology. \"AI offers a fantastic opportunity for mature but aging societies and economies like Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. We can become much more productive if we use the automation potential of AI\u2014and I'm not just referring to generative AI here\u2014to solve specific problems. This will keep us competitive in the long term and make us attractive to urgently needed young talent,\" Thomas Failer is convinced. Thomas Failer plans to repeat the event next year. The next conference and hackathon is already scheduled for August 8 at the Digital Lounge @Lakeside 2025 at Seeburg Castle in Kreuzlingen, Switzerland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/jivs.com\/\"
