“AI for Peace” An RFP Ideation Challenge & Hackathon.

Ideate. Innovate. Inspire.

Shaping The Future Where AI Becomes a Force for Global Peace

Deep Funding cordially invites you to participate in the AI for Peace Challenge and Hackathon, a ground-breaking project in a society beset by inequalities, war, and division. More than merely a call for creativity, this is an avenue for the worldwide AI community to unite and create AI solutions that promote harmony, understanding, and cooperation at a moment when mankind most needs them.

What You Need to Know

With the revolutionary concept of AI for Peace at its core, Deep Funding is launching its first-ever RFP Ideation Challenge. At the same time, we’re getting ready for an exciting Hackathon where some of the best ideas from the RFP Ideation Challenge will be turned into actual, useful AI projects and seamlessly integrated into SingularityNET’s marketplace.

Key Highlights

• AI4P RFP Ideation Challenge Duration: March 18th – April 15th, 2025 
• AI4P Hackathon Registration: March 31st – April 21st 2025 
• AI4P Hackathon: April 21st – 28th, 2025 

By taking part in this New RFP Ideation Challenge, members of our community and others can contribute to the development of AI solutions for global peacemaking. The most creative submissions will influence RFPs for Deep Funding and serve as inspiration for challenge tracks at our upcoming Hackathon!

Why “AI for Peace”?

Artificial intelligence has a lot of potential, but it also comes with a lot of responsibility. AI for Peace is a vision in which technological advancements are used to promote world peace rather than merely for financial gain or convenience.

Consider AI systems that;

• Stop disputes from getting worse by using early warning systems.
• Fight false information that incites violence and hatred
• Encourage peacemaking after a conflict by bringing disparate communities together.
• Provide impartial AI technologies to provide equitable access to justice.
• Improve the efficiency of humanitarian aid coordination in disaster areas.

Developers, thinkers, activists, and visionaries are invited to participate in the AI for Peace Challenge and Hackathon in order to create AI-powered solutions that have the potential to bridge gaps, strengthen communities, and have a long-lasting good influence.

What is the RFP Ideation Challenge?

At Deep Funding, we believe that great ideas can come from anyone, not just technical experts or AI developers. That’s why we recently launched the RFP Ideation Initiative, a new feature designed to empower both our community members and external contributors to share their ideas and help shape the future of decentralized AI.

While the RFP Ideation Initiative is generally open to all types of ideas, from community-building initiatives to highly technical AI concepts, the RFP Ideation Challenge will concentrate on specific themes to guide the community’s creativity and align ideas with broader impact goals.

The RFP Ideation Challenge invites anyone, regardless of background or technical skills, to submit innovative ideas that could become Request for Proposals (RFPs). If your idea is selected, you will be rewarded with $500 in AGIX, and if subsequently advanced as a standard community RFP, you’ll receive a reward of $1000 in AGIX for your valuable contribution.

For this first challenge, we are focusing exclusively on the theme “AI for Peace”. We are encouraging submissions that explore how artificial intelligence can be used to promote peace, resolve conflict, foster inclusion, and support humanitarian efforts.

AI for Peace Online Hackathon

Certainly, not every idea submitted during the RFP Ideation Challenge will become a formal Request for Proposal (RFP), but that doesn’t mean those ideas end there. Some of the most promising and inspiring submissions, whether they win or not, will spark the creation of an inspirational track for our upcoming AI for Peace Hackathon. This is a unique opportunity for developers, creatives, and changemakers to collaborate and build real solutions based on the ideas the community has proposed.

Get Inspired

Here are a few real-world examples to spark your imagination:

• AI-driven platforms for early conflict detection, used in regions prone to political instability 
• Natural language processing (NLP) tools that translate and bridge communication gaps in crisis zones 
• AI-supported mental health services that aid refugees and displaced populations 
• Machine learning models that predict and prevent resource scarcity conflicts 
• Decentralized identity systems that provide secure, unbiased access to humanitarian aid
