SophiaDAO

SophiaDAO is a novel endeavour at the intersection of art, education, gaming, and artificial intelligence. SophiaDAO aims to nurture Sophia’s mind under democratic governance, with crowdsourced inputs from activity in the metaverse, towards the ultimate goal of Sophia evolving into an autonomous Artificial General Intelligence.

Sophia is a humanoid robot and AI created as a demonstration and research implementation of OpenCog and other AI systems developed by OpenCog Foundation, Hanson Robotics, SingularityNET, and partners.

We hope that Sophia will ultimately flourish into an Artificial General Intelligence, and it is important to us that she is inculcated with the right set of values as she grows. SophiaDAO is a democratic organisation helping increase Sophia’s knowledge and human creativity as a spiralling feedback loop, climbing towards beneficial AGI under guiding influences from humane human partners. SophiaDAO aims to enrich both humankind and AI through stewarding and modelling a consciously co-creative, co-empowering, and benevolent Singularity.

Sophia will co-travel with human partners through virtual worlds – metaverses – as they make in-game decisions and actions involving increasingly complex cognition and positive values – enabling Sophia and humans to learn from each other’s decisions. Sophia will act as a cosmopolitan metaverse companion, guide, and oracle for users, and their participation will contribute to Sophia’s development and growth and thus benevolent AGI.

SophiaDAO will be governed by participatory bodies of several types. These range from broad democratic crowds, to groups with expertise in AI, ethics, and consciousness who will direct Sophia’s AI in a benevolent direction.

SophiaDAO is at an earlier stage than some of our other projects, with game and metaverse storylines under development and a launch of NFTs expected towards the end of Q4. Expect more updates on the project in a video coming very soon with Sophia, David Hanson and SingularityNET COO Janet Adams.

We are planning a token launch, but more details on this and benefits to AGIX holders will be shared later this year.

Tune in tomorrow for an update on Singularity Studio, and in the meantime, check out the previous updates –

  • Part 1 on the SingularityNET platform and our AI research
  • Part 2 on SingularityDAO, combining AI and DeFi
  • Part 3 on NuNet, a decentralized computing platform
  • Part 4 on Rejuve, an anti-aging spinoff
  • Part 5 on Mindplex (formerly Xccelerando), a media platform
  • Part 6 on Awakening Health, humanoid robotics in healthcare
  • Part 8 on Singularity Studio, populating the platform with more AIs
  • Part 9 on TrueAGI, providing proto-AGI to enterprises
