AI Explorations
Our AI explorations are designed to catalyze innovation and inspire visionary AI solutions that draw leading technologists into the field and meaningfully accelerate Alzheimer’s and related dementias research. The first of these efforts is the Alzheimer’s Insights AI Prize, which engages and challenges the global AI community to reimagine what’s possible in understanding and advancing the field.
About the Alzheimer's Insights AI Prize
The Alzheimer's Insights AI Prize is a global, open competition designed to accelerate discovery in Alzheimer's and related dementias through agentic AI.
With more than 55 million people worldwide currently living with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias, there is an urgent need to transform research timelines. Recent breakthroughs in new treatments and diagnostics provide hope, but there is potential to accelerate the pace of discovery and development even further.
The competition offers a $1 million prize to the team that develops the most innovative agentic AI solution — AI capable of independent planning, reasoning, and action — to accelerate breakthrough discoveries from existing Alzheimer's data. These systems can independently analyze vast datasets and uncover hidden insights, tackling the disease's complexity across multiple biological pathways.
The winning AI tool will be made available via AD Workbench.
Meet the Finalist Teams
These teams will attend the Alzheimer’s Insights Summit at the AD/PD™ 2026 International Conference on Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s Diseases and related neurological disorders in Copenhagen, Denmark.

The data that researchers have to consider different ideas is so much better than even five years ago, so this is the time to think, 'let’s double down on this disease.' AI is going to impact everything we do. The biology of the brain is so complex that AI’s ability to find meaning in large amounts of data means that this research is going to go a lot faster.
AI Prize Process
The application process closed in September 2025, and finalists were announced in December 2025.
Up to five finalist teams will attend the Alzheimer’s Insights Summit at the AD/PD™ 2026 International Conference on Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s Diseases and related neurological disorders in Copenhagen, Denmark.
The winning team will be announced the week of March 16, 2026.
