Transport yourself into the future of work and tell us what you see!
Welcome to “Visions of the Future of Work - A Short Video Competition”, a global storytelling and video competition dedicated to explore and depict the future of work to inspire positive change. As there is no doubt AI will completely transform the way we work, we believe that we can lead the way in imagining and shaping what that future of work will be through the power of storytelling, videos, films and AI.
We are excited to invite filmmakers, AI enthusiasts, students, professionals and amateurs, and anyone with a vision for a brighter tomorrow to participate in our Visions of the Future of Work video storytelling challenge.
About the competition
Join us in exploring the future of work through innovation, and share your unique vision of tomorrow's workplace with the world. This global video storytelling challenge is part of Our Future Life (TM) visions of the future challenges, and is hosted by the TASC Platform in association with the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) AI for Good Global Summit and the The Royal Society for the encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce (RSA).
We invite all storytelling enthusiasts from all disciplines and backgrounds to transport yourself to the future of work and tell us what you see, in the form of a 15s - 2 minute short video.
Through this competition, we aim to inspire fresh thinking about better futures of work, both individually and collectively, by showcasing how AI can be used to transform the way we work. With the goal of fostering creativity and innovation in storytelling, we are excited to put insights from our collective imagination into the hands of policymakers, decision-makers, creators and future shapers of all kinds.
