The Global Prompt Engineering Championship, the world’s largest AI prompt competition, is scheduled to take place in the Museum of the Future in Dubai on 20th-21st May 2024 under the patronage of H.H. Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, Chairman of the Executive Council of Dubai, and Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Dubai Future Foundation (DFF).
With total prizes amounting to up to AED1 million (over $272 million), the Dubai Centre for Artificial Intelligence (DCAI) – supervised by Dubai Future Foundation – announced the opening of registration for the championship. Interested participants can register via the website.
The competition evaluates participants’ proficiency in innovating AI prompts through generative AI applications across three categories: Coding, Art, and Literature. Prompt engineering has emerged as a critical skill in light of the recent surge in generative AI applications such as ‘ChatGPT’ and ‘Midjourney’. A total of 30 finalists will be chosen through a voting system, with ten finalists selected in each of the three categories who will advance to compete in Dubai. These participants will undergo evaluation by a jury comprising academics, innovators, and technology and AI experts based on criteria such as the speed, quality, and accuracy of their content.
