The first-of-its-kind activation earns Guinness World Records title for ‘Most People Contributing to an AI Generated Image’

Doha, Qatar: ‘Qatar ArtBeat,’ a groundbreaking artwork co-created by the nation has officially set a new Guinness World Records™ title for the ‘Most People Contributing to an AI-Generated Image.’ In celebration of Qatar National Day 2024, the campaign by Media City Qatar, in partnership with Google Cloud, reached over 5.4 million people and received 68,000 engagements from across the country.

With over 15,000 contributions to thought-provoking questions shared on Media City Qatar’s and collaborating influencers’ social media platforms, Google Cloud’s cutting-edge Vertex AI platform, Gemini models, and Google BigQuery data platform transformed these diverse voices into an artwork. This collaboration also involved analyzing wider public conversations around Qatar National Day 2024 to create an awe-inspiring artwork. Achieving the unprecedented record for the "Most People Contributing to an AI-Generated Image" required meeting strict criteria and parameters, all of which were thoroughly verified by an official Guinness World Records adjudicator.

"This groundbreaking Guinness World Records™ achievement made possible through our collaboration with Google Cloud—and of course, Qatar's social media community—showcases not just the power of AI, but its profound impact on the future of creativity and collaboration," said Eng. Jassim Mohamed Al Khori, CEO of Media City Qatar. "By setting new records, rather than merely breaking old ones, we send a clear message to the world: Qatar is not just part of the future, we are shaping it.”

“'Qatar ArtBeat' not only turned imagination into reality but also set a world record! This collaboration with Media City Qatar perfectly demonstrates how Google Cloud's AI can be used to create impactful cultural experiences,” said Ghassan Kosta, Regional General Manager of Google Cloud. “By transforming the nation's collective sentiments into a stunning visual artwork, we've showcased the potential of AI to celebrate culture and creativity on a global stage. We are incredibly proud to be part of this historic achievement.”
