Hi. I am an open source relations manager for Gadfly.AI
We are running a writing contest called "Future of AI", where people can write articles about AI, from very phylosophicle ones to totally technical articles.

There is a $ prize, an opportunity to become more visible to the community and the top authors will be interviewed by @sal Kimmich, who is a legend in the world of Open Source.
James McLeod (Director of Community at FINOS) suggested asking this question in the issues :)
