The Global Youth Challenge is a world-wide competition that consists of public speaking, essay writing, and creative projects that grapple with the topic of artificial intelligence and the impact that it will have on humanity.
Youths from around the world will be required to submit a 300 - 500 word essay plus a one-minute video speech, or a visual artwork plus a one-minute video speech.
Each entry will examine the possible benefits and potential harm and threat that artificial intelligence poses to humanity through different perspectives.
For example, Stephen Hawking, Elon Musk, and Ben Goertzel have openly discussed the potential threat that AI poses to humanity while at the same time acknowledging the benefits from an existential perspective.
Chosen finalists will present their entry to a panel of judges for a chance to win:
1st Place Winner (one): $500 CAD, Certificate of Distinction
2nd Place Winners (five): $200 CAD, Certificate of Distinction
3rd Place Winners (ten): $100 CAD, Certificate of Distinction
