AI Philosophy Competition (www.zacharygoodsell.com)

A new AI Philosophy Competition has been launched to evaluate the philosophical capabilities of AI systems, addressing the current lack of benchmarks for assessing AI-generated philosophical content. Participants can submit up to three original essays on any philosophical topic, along with detailed methodology reports on how the essays were generated. The competition emphasizes originality and quality over style, and will include a blind judging process by a panel of established academic philosophers, with finalists receiving feedback. The initiative aims to foster open dialogue within the philosophical community and set new standards for the evaluation of AI's contributions to philosophy. This competition is significant for the AI and ML community as it bridges the gap between advanced AI capabilities in fields like mathematics and coding and the more nebulous domain of philosophical thought. With no restrictions on generation methods aside from requiring primary AI involvement, the competition encourages innovation in how philosophical works are created. The availability of all submissions and methodology reports post-judging will further enable community engagement and discussions around the assessment of AI in philosophical discourse, marking a step toward more rigorous evaluation standards in a previously uncharted territory for AI applications.
