Thanks for the application @bssagiraju I'm curious to see if @KarimJedda would have any opinions about this proposal from a data perspective. Would something similar to Ocean Protocol + AI capabilities be helpful for the Polkadot eco?

Yes, we definitely believe that having an entire ecosystem of data and AI with blockchain as the base mechanism would be necessary to ensure an end-to-end "Less Trust, More Truth" kind of place.

Thanks @bssagiraju just re-ran it, it should prompt you to sign now. Don't worry about the other checks, just the CLA one. In the meantime I will mark the application as ready for review and ping the committee.

Hi @bssagiraju we discussed your proposal again but unfortunately the committee was unwilling to move forward with it. This was mainly due to the foundation not being interested in the designs & papers that would be produced. Additionally the deliverables are mostly beneficial only to your product. That being said, thanks for your time & efforts in submitting the application and we wish you the best of luck.
