I'm going to go against the anti-AI bandwagon here. Banning AI tools in a coding competition in 2025 is like banning calculators in an accounting competition.

It's a coding contest in a tech school. It's ultimately about education. Guess what: these students will be using copilot when they get a job. The school should be preparing them about how to responsibly and safely use every tool available to them to be productive and professional.

I would rather say that the organizers should have structured and scaffolded better the competition, so that tools like copilot could be part of the experience without compromising the overall learning objective.
