Short description

The Superintelligence Imagined Creative Contest, organized by the Future of Life Institute , seeks to inspire creators to generate compelling educational materials that highlight the risks associated with the development of superintelligent AI.

By inviting diverse submissions, the contest aims to foster a deeper public understanding of the potential dangers of superintelligence.

This initiative is designed to engage a wide range of individuals and teams, from artists and writers to filmmakers and technologists, in a collaborative effort to raise awareness about AI safety.

Your submission should help your chosen audience to answer the following fundamental question: What is superintelligence, and how might it threaten humanity?

Any textual / visual / auditory / spatial format (eg. video, animation, installation, infographic, videogame, website), including multi-media is eligible. The format can be physical or digital, but the final submission must be hosted online and submitted digitally. Successful applicants might include videos, animations, and infographics.

Organiser wants to see bold, ambitious, creative, and informative explorations of superintelligence. Submissions should serve as effective tools for prompting people to reflect on the trajectory of AI development, while remaining grounded in existing research and ideas about this technology. And finally, they should have the potential to travel far and impact a large audience. They hope is that submissions might reach audiences who have not yet been exposed to these ideas and educate them on superintelligent AI systems and prompt them to think seriously about its impacts on the things that matter to them.

The submissions will be evaluated based on how effectively they convey the risks of superintelligence, aiming to promote a better understanding of this critical issue among the general public.

Winners will be announced on October 2024.

➜ Creative material (must be digitised, available at a URL)
➜ Summary of your artwork (2-3 sentences) describing your submission
