Dubai: Sheikh Hamdan announces Global Prompt Engineering Championship to be held in May 2024

With a total prize pool of Dh1 million, the championship is the largest challenge of its kind to harness the power of generative AI. The challenge will be organized through a partnership between DFF and the Dubai Artificial Intelligence Center.

The global event, which will take place at the Museum of the Future, will include three main categories: literature, art and coding.

The challenge will last two days. The first day will focus on selecting the 30 best rapid engineering programmers who will participate in the final phase on the second day. The programmers will then be divided into five groups, each of which will compete in three categories: literature, art and coding. Completed projects will be evaluated by a specialized committee based on speed, quality and accuracy. The winners of the three categories will receive a total prize of Dh1 million.

The championship aims to strengthen Dubai and the UAE’s position as a destination for generative AI talent and entrepreneurs, as well as a hub for developing a new generation of innovations associated with rapid engineering.

Sheikh Hamdan emphasized that Dubai follows a proactive approach inspired by the vision of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates and Ruler of Dubai. This approach aims to accelerate digital transformation and support promising technologies in the digital world. Dubai achieves this through an integrated digital infrastructure that encourages and empowers programmers, entrepreneurs and startups to shape the future and develop solutions to global challenges.

“The Prompt Engineering Global Championship is aligned with Dubai’s efforts to become a destination for leading talent and a platform for generative AI startups. The competition is launched in line with the directives of our leaders to develop generative AI solutions and unlock the potential of this futuristic sector,” Sheikh Hamdan said.

“Dubai has solidified its position as a leading global hub for the future, fostering an enabling environment for the growth of AI tools and solutions. By harnessing the capabilities of advanced technology, it has become one of the most digitally empowered cities in the world.”

Sheikh Hamdan underlined Dubai’s commitment to creating a positive impact on sustainable technological advancement and fostering an exceptional programming community. This commitment encompasses attracting top talent and experts to drive innovation, he said.

The championship is aligned with Sheikh Mohammed’s strategic directives to incorporate generative AI solutions across all sectors in the UAE and Dubai. The directive is consistent with the nation’s vital objectives, its visionary aspirations and the pursuit of global leadership in digital transformation.
