India just made a splash at the International Olympiad in Artificial Intelligence (IOAI) in Beijing, scoring third place on its very first try.
The team brought home three golds, two silvers, and a bronze—outperforming heavyweights like the US and China (who finished 12th and 11th).
Over 300 students from 63 countries competed.
