Artificial Intelligence Unleashed, connecting AI to the global economy:
A world where AI, deeply entwined with the global digital economy is fast approaching. As we navigate through this nascent and pivotal stage in AI's evolution, we acknowledge its profound implications and incredible scale at consolidating a massive amount of data collection and processing.
It is imperative we all take on the role of stewardship with deep conviction that the development of AI in this early stage is aligned with the principles of free-speech, democratic values, and a diverse dataset with the voices and opinions of many. This key phase necessitates steadfast determination, vision, and a globally inclusive mission, to thwart the risk of AI's monopolization by proprietary, closed development for misuse or influence against the global populace.
This highlights why it's necessary for AI to be adaptable, user-friendly, and provide the least barriers to entry for all. It's critical in order to counterbalance the misuse seen in the past two decades by dominant tech companies. In order for AI to truly fulfill its potential, it needs to be democratized and widely distributed, which is why it's essential to encourage broad participation instead of concentrating power.
Our belief in successfully realizing our mission lies in the implementation of our core thesis, which advocates for AI to be modular rather than monolithic. This stands in stark contrast to centralized corporations, as we strive to adopt an open-source approach.
The early internet, though fundamentally decentralized, was primarily designed for information exchange, not for intrinsic value transfer. This shortcoming paved the way for Web2, which found ways to monetize consolidated and centralized information as a service. However, this led to an unfortunate situation where control over information, with the power to influence behaviors, became exceptionally profitable for a select few.
Web3 offers a unique solution by integrating the value layer directly into the network level, making value exchange as fundamental as information exchange. This addresses the monopolistic issues that have dominated the past, paving the way for countless opportunities in the realm of Artificial Intelligence. We foresee the widespread adoption of Smart Agents as autonomous Artificial Intelligence, capable of maintaining context, building upon memories, with defined sets of goals. As these Smart Agents naturally function in the digital realm, they require the means to exchange value during interactions with both humans and other machines. Currently, Web3 caters to all these needs, providing the necessary tools to facilitate this exchange of value. It equips Smart Agents to operate securely, transparently, and efficiently. Traditional fiat financial systems are currently unequipped to incorporate Smart Agents in a standardized fashion. With web3, however, Smart Agents gain the ability to participate in smart contracts, audit and review governance, and ensure that services or value exchanges have been fulfilled properly. Smart Agents would require the layer of trust be programmatically accessible, and transparent for analysis.
At the core, our vision is to harness the transformative principles of Web3 and integrate them into Artificial Intelligence. We aim to foster the creation of tools, applications, and networks, wherein layers of value and trust are seamlessly incorporated within open, decentralized systems and protocols. When our vision is realized we will see a world not of smart agents but sovereign agents, accessible by all, but guided and operated by the many.
