Raised by Humanity

Raised by Humanity is an innovative platform designed to give everyone a voice in shaping the future of AI. By democratizing AI governance, we aim to ensure that the development and deployment of AI technologies align with the needs and values of humanity as a whole.

How it Works:

1. Proof of Personhood: To participate in our governance process, users must complete a facial scanning, ensuring that every voter is a real and unique human. This step guarantees the integrity of our democratic system.

2. Voter ID Creation: After successfully verifying your identity, you'll receive your voter ID, allowing you to participate in governance decisions.

3. Governance Space on Snapshot: With your voter ID, you can access our governance space hosted on Snapshot. Here, you can view, discuss, and vote on key proposals regarding AI and its global impact.

By empowering individuals worldwide to engage in decision-making, Raised by Humanity strives to ensure that AI serves the collective good of humanity. Join us in shaping the future of AI—by humanity, for humanity.

Philosophy

World Association applications are built on the principles of openness, individual freedom, and the right to fork. All core software and tools needed to run these applications are freely available and easy to use. This ensures that if the World Association or any of its platforms is ever compromised, the community can fork the system and create a new version that better serves the collective interests of humanity.
