Deep Funding is a new approach to funding open-source projects, combining AI-driven decision-making with human oversight to create a more transparent, scalable, and fair allocation process. Instead of relying on centralized committees or donors to assess projects, Deep Funding introduces a competitive model where AI predicts the value of contributions, and a jury verifies a subset of them to ensure alignment with human judgment.
