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.
While AccessGPT aims to make ChatGPT accessible to a wider audience, it is unclear how this directly supports the innovation of scientific research, or addresses novel mechanisms of funding, conducting, and disseminating scientific research.
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.
AccessGPT is focused on providing access to an existing AI tool (ChatGPT) but does not indicate that it is building new technological infrastructure or deploying existing DeSci infrastructure in a scientific context, nor does it mention any efforts toward educating or recruiting for the mission.
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.
The project description does not focus on addressing data sharing, reproducibility, publishing incentives, IP issues, or barriers to research. It mainly addresses geographic and device-related access to ChatGPT, which is not directly an issue under the stated DeSci mission.
Projects must satisfy the Gitcoin Program General Eligibility Policy in addition to the requirements described above.
Insufficient information is available to evaluate the project's compliance with the Gitcoin Program General Eligibility Policy. Considerations would involve a closer look at legal conformity, community ethos, and other requirements set by Gitcoin.
