> We will be inviting the top nominees to join a gathering of the brightest technologists, business leaders and ethicists working on trustworthy AI to help get your ideas off the ground. Participants will also have access to mentorship from some of the best minds in the industry, the ability to meet key contributors in this community, and an opportunity to win some funding for their project.

>Mozilla will be investing $50,000 into the top applications and projects, with a grand prize of $25,000 for the first place winner.

Both of these scream "not a serious project" to me. Is $25k an amount of money that's commensurate with the costs involved in developing "trustworthy AI"? Do serious researchers who are up to such a challenge require "mentorship"?
