READ@PolyU Challenge – Design Your AI Companion!

We are excited to announce a special contest as part of our READ@PolyU reading programme, centred around our common book 2024/25, Klara and the Sun. We invite you to explore the themes of artificial intelligence and companionship that lie at the heart of the novel.

In Klara and the Sun, we follow an artificial friend, Klara, who navigates the complexities of human emotions and relationships. This contest encourages you to reflect on your own ideas about AI and friendship. If you had the chance, what kind of AI friend would you create, and how would it change your life?

How to Participate:

  1. Design Your AI Friend: Write a 50-word description of your AI friend's unique qualities and role in your life.
  2. Visualize Your AI Friend: Study image prompting and use GenAI tools to visualize the image of your ideal AI companion. Let your imagination run wild!
  3. Eligibility: This challenge is open to all PolyU students. Each participant should submit one entry only.

Submission:

  1. Share on Social Media: Post the AI friend’s image and its description on your Facebook or Instagram with the title "READ@PolyU Challenge: Design Your AI Companion" and hashtags: #polyureads and #PolyULibrary.
  2. Email Your Submission: Send a screenshot of your post, the image, the full 50-word description of your AI friend, the final prompt and AI tool that you have used to lbread@polyu.edu.hk with your name and student ID.
