1 Aug 2023

What does the future of AI hold for us? This question is on everyone’s mind. The past couple of years have been crazy for AI - it’s disrupting almost every aspect of our lives - the way we do our work, create art, write, learn, teach, do business, or communicate.

This is the era of LLMs and Generative Models trained on our data, built for humans by humans. The speed of disruption is making many of us question the regulatory concerns, ethical implications, and AI’s role in our everyday lives. This is the right time to discuss the fascinating and disruptive AI and its impact on our future!

Gadfly AI and HackerNoon are super excited to bring our AI community ‘The Future of AI Contest’. Share your expertise, projects, research, or thoughts on all the exciting and/or (😉) scary realms of AI, LLMs, and Generative Art+Code.

The contest starts on August 1st and ends on August 31st, 2023. The best stories and writers will be featured on Gadfly AI’s Cyberscape Zine. The winner gets $1000!

How to Enter the Future of AI Writing Contest

All you need to do is:

  1. Write a story about anything relevant to AI - LLMs, Generative Art+Code, AI Research, Securing AI, AI Regulation, AI Ethics, and more.

…That’s it!
