HUMANS is a next-generation blockchain platform that brings an ecosystem of stakeholders together to use Artificial Intelligence (AI) in creating at scale. HUMANS combines a library full of AI tools into a creative studio suite where users will be selected and chosen from as they bring their creative ideas to life. HUMANS encourages and empowers individuals to create and own their digital identity and likeness. This may be used by themselves or other creatives in the creation of digital assets.
By combining the power of Blockchain technology with AI, the HUMANS platform gives anyone, anywhere across the world access to create and scale their potential into the infinite. Simply put, HUMANS are Artificial Intelligence with a heart. With HUMANS, we can transform ourselves into digital beings with the power of AI. Synthetic media, digital assets and AI apps on the HUMANS platform use blockchain technology to generate Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) as a way of creating transparency and a form of long term governance.
We are at the dawn of a new era. An era where an increasing number of the data we generate and interact with is influenced by AI in some ways. While the advent of this technology holds great promise in terms of how it can help us save time, money and energy, it also has its challenges. It is these challenges that HUMANS seek to address with the solution that is offered.
While AI gives the ability to do great things, it also creates the potential for great harm. As a result, there is a need to define ethical standards which will guide its use and methods of maintaining accountability. At the moment, there's not much accountability for AIs in the market and this is why HUMANS is creating a platform where people can access and enjoy the benefits of AI with the knowledge that they are doing so ethically.
The HUMANS platform is run by three different kinds of tokens which are utilised to create transparency and accountability throughout the HUMANS ecosystem. They include:
This token is used for payments and governance within the ecosystem. The $HEART token is the native token of the HUMANS ecosystem, and it empowers its holders to participate in the governance of the platform and facilitate the key flows of value within it. Every fee that is charged on the HUMANS platform will be paid in $HEART. This is regardless of whether the payment originates in fiat or another accepted cryptocurrency.
Another function of $HEART is to facilitate staking. To perform key functions within the HUMANS ecosystem, staking $HEART is required to:
$HEART will serve as the native incentive on the platform as various stakeholders contribute important values to the ecosystem. These incentives include rewards for:
HUMANS use NFTs to recognize the ownership of several assets within their ecosystem and to ensure that contributions to the delivery of valuable outcomes are properly accounted for. These assets include:
It is important to note that minting NFTs involves making selections regarding governance and financial dynamics. Only those who hold the NFTs that are linked to the governance tokens can change these selections.
While NFTs represent ownership over digital assets, ERC-20 tokens on HUMANS represent rights to govern the NFTs and the rights to the $HEART revenues they may generate. These governance rights and rights to the revenue they generate may be represented by two separate ERC-20 tokens which are both linked to the original NFT.
Tokens that are governance related will be distributed
to everyone who contributed to the creation of an NFT. As decided by the Governance token holders, revenue related tokens may be distributed differently.
While HUMANS is mostly about empowering people to use AI to bring their imaginations to life, at the same time, the platform is about ensuring that those creations are made in service of the common good. The main goal's to ensure that they are not used to harm or otherwise violate the principles of ethical AI.
To participate in the governance of HUMANS, a user must have an account on the platform which is validated and they have to stake a minimum amount of $HEART for the life of their account. Also, to participate in the governance over an NFT, the user will need to possess and stake that NFTs governance token.
The governance system of HUMANS has been designed in a way that it provides oversight to the technical and other functional aspects of the ecosystem. This includes the creation and usage of AIs via the NFTs. Users can also submit proposals for the improvement of the ecosystem via funding or some other idea, or they can raise concerns regarding an AI, App, or another usage for ethical review.
