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, the Dubai Centre for Artificial Intelligence (DCAI) – supervised by Dubai Future Foundation - announced the opening of registration for the championship.
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.
Khalfan Belhoul, CEO of the DFF, said, “
The Global Prompt Engineering Championship will attract some of the most promising talents in the field of AI from around the world. This international gathering in Dubai serves to highlight the key future skills that will shape the trajectory of AI.”
“This event aligns with the vision of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, and the directives of H.H. Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Chairman of the Executive Council of Dubai. It embodies Dubai’s commitment to embracing and driving the adoption of cutting-edge technologies, ensuring it is prepared to seize future opportunities,”
Belhoul added.
The Championship aims to build a global community of AI experts, facilitating knowledge sharing, experience exchange, and innovation showcase in AI prompt engineering. By providing an open platform for local and global talents, it fosters collaboration and pushes the boundaries of AI capabilities, aligning with Dubai's vision as a future-ready digital hub and leading digital city. Additionally, the competition aims to impact the broader technology community, strengthening the innovation ecosystem and promoting the development of AI applications with tangible real-world benefits.
