A really interesting and timely project. Most of the genetic data out there for clinical research is that of the White Western Europeans; it doesn't contain the DNA from other parts of the world. Hence, I agree with your point that populations in low and middle-income countries are often missing from the health datasets that increasingly support current and future AI systems. Hope this project gets funded soon and brings about a real, positive change in the world :)

Thanks so much for your kind words and support, @Beemetrics :)

Love the reel and the idea! This project has great potential, hope it reaches its funding goal. Good luck, John and team :)

Super important project!
Good luck, Elena :)

A super cool project!

@MarcusAbramovitch This is a great initiative. I highly support it. Don't have the funds to donate, but showing my support through this comment. I hope this project gets funded soon :)

Thanks so much for your kind words and your donation, @PipFoweraker :)

This is a high-impact project. And the theory of change really resonates very well. Hope this project gets funded, goodluck, @Dr. Richard Armitage :)

Doom Debates brings the right kind of content and packages it in the best possible way. I love watching their videos. I really hope that this project reaches its funding goal. Goodluck, Liron :)

Thank you for your support, Dr. Jones :)

I have confidence in Sean based on his previous work, and I think locations with great talent (like Australia, India, Germany, etc) must be funded appropriately in order to create institutional capacity to nurture that talent. I really really hope that this project gets funded. All the best, Sean and #TeamLyptus :)

Thank you so much for your kind words and your donation, it really means a lot, @melgarcia :)

Thank you for your kind words, @ridakadri14 :)

Thank you so much for your best wishes, @eleklem :)

Thanks so much for your kind words and your donation. Definitely, we need more Global South initiatives. Your constant support really means a lot @eleklem :)

Thanks so much for the fastest fix, @Austin :)

@Austin, just wanted to bring your attention to a bug: When we copy the link to a comment, it produces the localhost link like this: http://localhost:3000//projects/ai-championship-ai-safety-talent-prepipeline-for-indias-6th-8th-graders?tab=comments#e8731d35-f42b-4f59-891d-199984962be0 instead of the domain name one:

Thank you so much for your faith in my abilities to carry out this AI Championship. Yes, it definitely deserves to be funded, @c16dd74e-ecf1-42a6-8bf1-9d04f68e7fca :)

Thank you so much for your kind support, @Arshb :)

Y@Kavan-Pujara Indeed, more people need to talk about this and take the real responsibility instead of just humming "Responsible AI", "Responsible AI"...
Thanks for your support :)

Thanks so so so much for showing your support towards this project, Prof. Russell :)

Description of subprojects and results, including major changes from the original proposal

It really helped me attend my dream conference, talk to folks about my AI Nutrition Labels for Everyday consumers, and gain insights into turning theory into practice. I could talk to Prof. Stuart Russell, Yoshua Bengio, and many others about it, and it was really helpful to network with them in person. All this was possible just because Manifund funded my attendance :)
The funds were pretty much used for the categories as I mentioned on Manifund, without any major deviation. 

Work in Progress: Connected with folks at the Bureau of Indian Standards and Amir Banifatemi from IASEAI to take my AI Nutrition Labels for Everyday consumers from theory into a standard.
