I am a @DAO Labs #SocialMining teammember, so it's my job to note changes. It seems while we eat drink and breathe $BTC , $ETH and even $HMSTR and watch #NeiroOnBinance and #bitcoin☀️ we live in a world that is tightly controlled, especially in terms of every day matters, from education to banking to travel.

A reaction to this somewhat overcontrolled environment, the idea of “radical autonomy” on the other hand is a concept that pushes back. This idea that individuals and entities, including AI, have an innate right to pursue their own path, free from centralized forms of governance. The decentralized nature of blockchain technologies mesh well with this vision, and the Autonomys Network sees it as the next stage of AI development. Autonomys’ blockchain framework is a decentralized, scalable collaboration. The key aim is to allow humans and AI systems to engage in secure, permissionless interactions without relying on centralized authorities​. This vision of radical autonomy works toward developing freedom for both humans and AI to define their roles and operations independently, so control is shared rather than imposed from the top down.

The #AutonomysNetwork uses Proof-of-Archival-Storage (PoAS) as well as decentralized storage. Decentralization is critical in preventing monopolies, and this holds true for AI technologies and data, as well. As the technology is developing at breakneck speed in front of our eyes, there is also a growing need for broader access and greater transparency in AI development. Thus blockchain’s decentralization, transparency and security will democratize access to AI for a wider population.

Social mining in the Autonomys ecosystem allows participants to contribute resources, such as storage or computational power, in exchange for rewards. Unlike traditional mining methods, social mining emphasizes the community’s active role in maintaining the network, reflecting a bottom-up approach where individuals retain a greater degree of control over their contributions and rewards. This approach ties into AI development by allowing participants to engage directly in the training, validation, and storage of AI models. Social mining thus supports a relationship between blockchain and AI. Miners shape their personal engagement with AI technologies, and the benefits of AI are distributed across a broader community, who have an intrinsic motivation to keep supporting the development and become champions of its continued existence​.

The ideas of radical autonomy, decentralized blockchain infrastructure, and social mining combine to create a sustainable model for the next evolution of AI. This is the vision the Autonomys Network thus offers, where both human and AI autonomy are respected and strengthened. Are you ready for it??
