Millennium Fellowship Project: CrowdCraft
CrowdCraft (CC) serves as an innovative crowdsourcing marketplace, linking businesses with AI creatives who generate prompts for AI models. By hosting competitions, the platform enables not only specialized prompt engineers but also novices to submit their AI-generated outputs. Winners are awarded cash prizes among other incentives, aligning with CC's mission to democratize AI and financially reward creativity. Key performance metrics include the number of hosted competitions, signaling the platform's user engagement and popularity. Additionally, participant growth, especially among amateur creators, is closely monitored to gauge the platform's effectiveness in educating the public about generative AI. By year's end, CrowdCraft aims to establish a diverse and inclusive AI ecosystem through strategic partnerships, educational events, and community engagement.
