About

Pitch ^^^^^

|GUT-AI Initiative| is a totally decentralized initiative, which aims to eliminate the multiple single points of failure when using AI for practical applications in the real world in order to achieve the ultimate purpose of both ‘narrow AI’ and ‘strong AI’, which is to actually "open" the "black box" of an ML system in order to eventually unlock the mysteries of nature and the universe (from Brain Consciousness <https://www.google.com/search?q=what+is+Brain+Consciousness>_ and Abiogenesis <https://www.google.com/search?q=what+is+Abiogenesis>_ to Quantum Gravity <https://www.google.com/search?q=what+is+Quantum+Gravity>_ and Genesis Cosmology <https://www.google.com/search?q=what+is+Genesis+Cosmology>_ ). For instance, does evolution or the universe have a conscious or intelligent “geist” <https://www.google.com/search?q=Max+Planck+conscious+and+intelligent+spirit+geist>_ (spirit), as Max Planck once claimed?

Vision ^^^^

We believe that there should be no organization or person in our world who wants to use AI, but not be able to do so. We also believe in a world where AI hand-in-hand with human interaction are in an ever-improving situation.

Mission ^^^^

We are on a mission to create the most user-friendly Open-Data, Open-Source, Decentralized |ecosystem| for AI using cutting-edge technology, either of the 21st century or that we might invent by ourselves.

The Problem

A picture is worth a thousand words. You can see the picture below and draw your own conclusions.

DAO Foundation

The purpose of |GUT-AI Foundation| is to have a supportive role, while acting as a catalyst in order to accelerate GUT-AI Initiative <https://gutai.miraheze.org/wiki/GUT-AI_Initiative>, but without interfering with the decentralized nature of the whole initiative. In other words, GUT-AI Foundation is merely a pure subset of GUT-AI Initiative. The Foundation is currently in the process of becoming a Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) <https://www.google.com/search?q=what+is+a+DAO>.

See FAQ <FAQ/README.rst>_ for more details about the relationship of the Initiative and the Foundation.
