Prompt Engineering Awareness: A Study on Google Trends Data

Human intelligence learns by identifying events in its surroundings through the five senses. In contrast, artificial intelligence learns by analysing data and knowledge. Today, the rapid advancement in generative artificial intelligence necessitates the collaboration of humans and artificial intelligence. This collaboration has given rise to hybrid intelligence, which combines human and artificial intelligence capabilities. For hybrid intelligence to be effectively developed and to ensure efficient collaboration between humans and artificial intelligence, appropriate inputs must be provided to artificial intelligence. The discipline that addresses this process is known as prompt engineering. In this context, this study aims to evaluate and compare the awareness of the prompt engineering discipline among the Organization of Turkic States and G7 member countries. Awareness was measured using Google Trends data. The study concluded that while the member countries of the Organization of Turkic States and G7 countries exhibit a high level of awareness regarding artificial intelligence, the member countries of the Organization of Turkic States, except Türkiye, have a lower awareness of prompt engineering than G7 countries.
