Summary
Peter Diamandis, founder of XPRIZE, is launching a new $3.5 million Future Vision XPRIZE to promote “optimistic sci-fi” and change the narrative around technology. The prize, backed by Google and Range Media Partners, will award $100,000 to five finalists and $2.5 million to the winner to make their idea into a full-length film. The finalists will present their films at Diamandis’ Moonshot Gathering conference in September. The prize aims to counter the growing anxiety over AI’s potential to replace jobs and promote a positive vision of the future.
