How do we evaluate systems that evolve faster than our tools to measure them? Traditional machine learning evaluations, rooted in train-test splits, static datasets, and reproducible benchmarks, are no longer adequate for the open-ended, high-stakes capabilities of modern GenAI models. The core proposal of this position paper is bold but grounded: AI competitions, long used to crowdsource innovation, should be elevated to the default method for empirical evaluation in GenAI.
