Projects should directly support the mission of DeSci to innovate scientific research by exploring novel mechanisms of funding, conducting, and disseminating scientific research in an open, inclusive, and accessible manner.
Project LION aims to democratize AI tools for community operations within DAOs, which indirectly supports the open and inclusive aspect of the DeSci mission. However, it is not clear how the project directly explores novel mechanisms of funding, conducting, or disseminating scientific research, as the application is primarily focused on administrative DAO operations.
DeSci projects most commonly support this mission by building and testing necessary technological infrastructure, but projects may also be eligible if they are deploying existing DeSci infrastructure in a scientific research context or if they are educating and recruiting members of the scientific community to contribute to the mission.
While Project LION involves building technological infrastructure in the form of a Discord bot powered by GPT-4, it does not explicitly indicate deployment in a scientific research context nor does it focus on educating and recruiting the scientific community for DeSci.
Concrete examples of issues covered by the DeSci mission include: the data reproducibility crisis and archaic data sharing practices; misaligned incentives and poor practices in scientific publishing and peer review; financial, linguistic, and academic barriers to globally inclusive research; intellectual property, patents, and financial incentives to trade progress for profits; academic disconnect and poor science/health literacy and trust in the lay public and government representatives.
Project LION's description does not address any of the concrete issues listed as part of the DeSci mission. Its focus on AI tools for DAO operations does not directly tackle data reproducibility, data sharing practices, incentives in publishing, or any of the other examples provided.
