Description

Deep Funding organizes projects into periodic rounds. Participants can submit proposals for the current round which eventuallly will be voted on by community to be awarded funds. You can also view the projects that have been awarded funds

Detailed Idea

Alignment with DF goals (BGI, Platform growth, community)

1.Beneficial General intelligence (BGI):Trains AI on ethical datasets(Qur'an/Bubble peace verses, cultural folktales) to ensure cultural respect.Uses ASI's Hyperson to model terrorist recruitment patterns and preempt radicalization.

2.Platcome Growth:Integrates with ASI: create to expand low-resource language NLP(Kanuri,Tiv, Fulfude e.t.c)

Onboards Northern media partners(e.g Arewa 24) as ASI adopters.

3.Community impact: Partner with 50+ local influencers(e g Hausa,Kanuri,Fulfude Social Media influencers) to co-create content 

Empowers women via faceless storyteller roles(earn $AGI for anonymized scripts)

Problem description

1.Illiteracy is a critical flaw most AI peace projects that rely on text-tools like sentiment analysis or chatbots 

2.Cultural Disconnect: Peace campaigns use generic messaging, ignoring local proverbs and oral traditions.

3.Fear of exposure: Ex-terrorists avoid sharing regrets due to stigma, survivors fear retaliation 

Current Solutions Fail Because:

NGOs rely on text-heavy campaigns (illiteracy = 65% in rural North)Tech tools lack anonymity, deterring critical voices.

Proposed Solutions

1.Al-Generated Hybrid Content:Radio Dramas:Air during peak hours on insurgent -trusted stations(e.g Nagarta Radio).

2.Faceless viral videos:AI-generated Ex-terrorists testimonials,shared on Tiktok reels with engaging hooks 

3.USSD Voting

4.AI + Elder collaboration  

1.Storyteller Rewards 

2.Encrypted submission 

Metrics and Scalability 

1.Track USSD votes target 10009+ monthly and video share 500k+

2.Measure the drop in terrorist attacks in partnership with the "Nigeria Security Track"
