SingularityNET is a decentralized marketplace for Artificial Intelligence (AI). The business value of AI is becoming clearer each day; however, there’s a significant gap between the people developing AI tools (researchers and academics) and the businesses that want to use them. Most organizations need a more customized solution than what a single AI project can offer, and research projects oftentimes have trouble accessing a large enough data set to build effective machine learning. SingularityNET closes these gaps. The long-term vision of the SingulairtyNET team is to build a network of complex AI Agent interactions primarily using resources from the OpenCog Foundation. To look at this further, let’s check out their in-house built humanoid robot, Sophia. Sophia uses a combination of AI Agents that range from natural language processing to physical motor controls to operate. You tell Sophia to summarize a video that’s embedded in a webpage. To do this, Sophia sends a request to Agent A. Through its AI, Agent A knows that Agent B specializes in analyzing and transcribing video while Agent C specializes in summarizing text. Agent A pays Agent B and Agent C to perform these tasks while Sophia pays Agent A to coordinate. All the while, each Agent has updated their own AI with the network information gained from these tasks and combines it with their previous experiences and knowledge. Therefore, the collective AI of the system grows at a faster rate than any individual Agent. SingularityNET wants to build a decentralized protocol for creators and users of AI to interact with each other, to not only help individual projects benefit by leveraging the strengths of other AI systems that might handle certain tasks better, but ultimately to develop SingularityNET into a functioning AI system itself, with nodes on the network making their own decisions about how to connect services and proactively provide solutions to academic and business problems. Tokenizing the network creates an AI marketplace where AI developers and sellers can not only link with others who might assist in building more robust AI solutions, but also allow AI services and products to be bought and sold, creating revenue and establishing price points where none have existed before. The SingularityNET team boasts 50+ AI developers and 10+ PhDs. Dr. Ben Goertzel leads the group as CEO and Chief Scientist. He’s also the Chairman of the OpenCog Foundation and the Artificial General Intelligence Society, as well as the Chief Scientist at Hanson Robotics, the partner company helping bring SingularityNET to life. Dr. David Hanson, founder of Hanson Robotics, serves as the Robotics Lead. Most famously, Hanson Robotics built Sophia, the most expressive humanoid robot to date. Sophia is also a proud member of the SingularityNET team. The team recently released the alpha version of the platform and is planning on launching a public beta sometime in the middle of 2018.

What is Gnosis? Gnosis is a collective of aligned projects revolutionizing payments infrastructure to make decentralized financial tools accessible and usable for all The Gnosis ecosystem is underpinned by Gnosis Chain, a highly secure, resilient, and decentralized EVM-compatible layer 1 network and also includes the venture-building arms, Gnosis Studio and Gnosis Capital, the developer, investor, and incubator of a host of leading decentralized solutions. These projects are creating a radically inclusive infrastructure helping bridge the gap between blockchain technology and practical, everyday applications/use cases. What is the history of Gnosis? Idealistic engineers who believe in restoring people's control over their own lives through building open financial tooling, Gnosis evolved and created industry standard applications such as the Gnosis Safe (multisig and programmable account), Cow Protocol (formerly CowSwap and Gnosis Protocol), Conditional Tokens (prediction markets), Gnosis Auction, Zodiac (standard and tooling for composable DAOs). Most recently Gnosis launched, Gnosis Pay, which allows users to spend crypto anywhere through the Gnosis VISA-supported debit card, and more. What role does GNO play in the Gnosis ecosystem? GNO is the staking token of Gnosis Chain and the governance token for the GnosisDAO and an index token for the Gnosis ecosystem. Gnosis Ventures incubates, invests in, and supports projects in all early stages, spinning incubated projects out where appropriate. The relationship between these ventures and the token can take several forms: Either GNO is used as a token directly or the Gnosis token is economically coupled with the project tokens. What education resources does Gnosis have for developers? The Gnosis Chain doc site is a comprehensive resource for developers building on Gnosis Chain: https://docs.gnosischain.com/ What is the governance model for Gnosis? The Gnosis ecosystem is governed through the GnosisDAO, with voting power distributed amongst GNO token holders. As a DAO, anyone can participate in decision making about the development of Gnosis. We are a vibrant community founded on the values of early Ethereum. Use your voice to take a stand on issues, weigh in on proposals, and shape the future of Gnosis. How does Gnosis foster developer adoption and support the growth of its ecosystem? Gnosis Capital invests in early-stage web3 projects that are poised to make significant contributions to closely aligned projects in the flourishing Gnosis ecosystem. The Gnosis treasury is governed by the GnosisDAO with voting power distributed amongst GNO holders. As a DAO, Gnosis also uses the products that it creates to transparently guide decisions on the development, support, and governance of its own ecosystem.
