Loneliness
in later life.
A familiar voice. A place at the table. Someone who notices you haven’t called.
Our first competition asks you to create something with AI that changes how we see, feel or respond to loneliness in later life. Start with what connection means to a person, and see where it takes you.
A service that brings generations together. A tool that makes meeting easier. A story that starts a conversation. Bring your knowledge and take the brief somewhere unexpected.
Good work.
Clear workings.
Purpose
Show who your work is for and why it matters. Explain what it could help someone feel, understand or do, and what you have actually tested.
Process
Make AI central to the work. Show the visual interfaces and systems behind your result, with a walkthrough another person can follow.
Craft
Show your decisions, alternatives and limitations. Clear documentation and a system someone else can understand, maintain and improve are part of the achievement.
Raise each
other’s game.
Someone takes the brief somewhere you never expected. You look again. Then you want to do better.
