The debate over AI's long-term impact continues to heat up. One thing is certain: AI is only as good as the data it’s trained on. As AI and LLMs play an increasingly significant role in our daily lives, it's crucial to understand not just the data that powers them, but also how that data is collected and used.
That's where the AI Writing Contest comes in.
With this contest, we hope to foster meaningful conversations about data collection for AI and LLM training. Writers of all backgrounds (18+) are invited to submit their entries before December 1, 2024, at 11:59 PM EST to compete for a share of the $2,500 prize pool from Bright Data.
