Artificial intelligence is transforming human life at an unprecedented pace. Could this technology, originally developed to serve humanity, one day begin to guide human behavior, influence our decisions, or even escape our control?

The contest invites cartoonists to explore the opportunities and dangers of artificial intelligence through humor and critical thinking, addressing its impact on humanity's future, unemployment, military applications, potential misuse, and the question of who controls this powerful technology.
