Dongduk Women's University Hosts Successful Generative AI Contest with Innovative Tournament Format

Dongduk Women's University recently held its 5th Generative AI Utilization Contest, a vibrant event celebrating the university's 116th anniversary and 76th year since its founding. The competition aimed to enhance AI utilization skills among students and promote the development and dissemination of AI educational content.

This year's contest moved beyond a single theme, challenging students to creatively integrate at least two keywords from five distinct categories: Artificial Intelligence, Global, Campus Life, Future, and Tradition. Participants submitted 134 diverse works, showcasing their ability to fuse these concepts into compelling visual representations using generative AI.

Students' ability to acquire and integrate AI technologies from various fields is the core competency for the future society.

A major highlight was the final round's innovative '1-on-1 tournament' format. Eight finalists, who advanced from the preliminary rounds, competed head-to-head in an 8-round elimination bracket. The contestants faced off against each other in real-time, using AI prompts based on randomly assigned themes, creating an electrifying atmosphere that captivated the audience.

Adding to the excitement, the contestants' laptop screens, displaying their prompt-writing process, were broadcast live on a large screen in the auditorium. This provided a vivid verification of their AI utilization capabilities and creative workflows, drawing comparisons to the intensity of esports. The grand prize was awarded to Hwang Zi-shi, an international student from China majoring in Media Design, for her exceptional image combining the seemingly disparate keywords 'Global' and 'Moon.' The contest recognized outstanding talent, fostering a spirit of innovation and cross-cultural collaboration.

Dongduk Women's University will continue to establish a systematic convergence education system and plan diverse educational content and contests that students can directly participate in, laying a solid foundation as an educational institution that cultivates talent leading the digital age.
