7 days agoHi JueYan, I'm working on AURA, a computer vision system that reconstructs 3D facial geometry from ordinary smartphone photos. It also has a safety and verification layer that detects unreliable outputs, separates actual evidence from model assumptions, and rejects failed reconstructions.
I'm planning to expand this work into broader AI safety research using computer vision.
I'm currently raising $20–50k for independent validation. Would this be something AISTOF might consider supporting, or could you point me toward someone interested?
