For the social impact, the proposed project should have answers to these following questions:
- How the project can address a social challenge?
- Is the project based on research and data about the problem and the solution?
- When will it deploy the AI model for real-world impact?
- What are the expected outcomes?
- Feasibility
As for the feasibility, these are the following questions should be answered:
- Is the proposed project well-planned and can be executed realistically?
- What is the team’s plan to access relevant dataset and technical expertise to apply AI to the problem?
- Have the team found the right partners and domain experts to implement the solution?
- AI Utilization
Only one question should be answered for these criteria: Does the proposed project utilizes AI to address the problem(s)?
- Implementation
As for the implementation, once it is successful, how is the implementation of the proposed project? Can it be implemented as soon as possible, be a model for other attempts, or level up the field?
- Responsibility
