Contest Description

What to Submit?

AI is becoming the dominant force in the digital age. It is impacting on society and all of us. There are postives but there are many negatives. Leaders in industry and politics seem obsessed with AI. My video The AI Conudrum (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GPXTPO28XJI&t=8s) lays out the challenge we all face. Indeed we have already experienced this challenge here in Poetry Soup. On 17 September I am chairing a discussion about this issue at an international conference to be held in Lisbon. I would like to use some poems by Soupers to set the scene. So this is what this contest is about. Please write one original poem about the AI conundrum. Any form is acceptable.  Please keep it short as I don't have much time to scene set. I look forward to your submissions.
