Episode notes
AI Predicts Project Funding
- Predictive funding uses AI models to forecast how much funding projects will secure in a round before it starts.
- A low prediction error rate could eventually replace the need for quadratic funding rounds by approximating capital allocation.
Rapid AI Competition Launch
- The predictive funding competition was launched on very short notice but still attracted many AI submissions.
- The experiment revealed varied AI accuracy and showed potential for AI to scale human judgment in funding allocation.
AI Enhances Project Discovery
- AI can enhance project discoverability by helping identify overlooked or hidden gem projects.
- Discrepancies between AI predictions and human votes can reveal unique insights for capital allocation.
