Vector1 launches the Development of Pay-I, a Human First AI Economic Collaborative.

Pay-I is a human-first AI systems think tank and human advocacy group working to give visibility and develop cognitive systems that compensate humans for the privilege of using their data, and give value and money back to humanity as compensation for building on top of their content, data, limbic uploads, and memories. No more tech bros/gals stealing and getting rich by using others for gain, and pretending like they are creating value for humanity, tiny men and women strutting around like they are superheroes, but more like clowns boasting about their theft.

Unlike social platforms and current AI platforms that ruthlessly consume human data and value and then charge these same humans for the right to use the product built on their data, Pay-I is designed to create systems that give value to the true “funders” of the AI systems, humans. Our mission is to fight for the return of money and value to the true creators and authors of AI systems, the human race, not code jockeys, smarmy VC partners, or Farquaad-esque tech CEOs pilfering the data of humans so they can show up at Sun Valley in their puffy vests and munch on Wagyu. We are ending this data and value theft and the use of humans as “human batteries” to run their platforms and products.

How will we do this? We will use legal means, research studies, raise visibility, and collaborate to create new systems to return the value to the rightful funders of Social Media and AI platforms, humans. How do we propose this value be transferred back to humanity? Through a transfer of stock, profit sharing, free AI services for the true authors of the AI systems, the humans, and their increasingly valuable training data corpus(words, pictures, memories, posts, behaviors, and all the other stolen assets that have been appropriated by rapacious tech companies).

What we propose:

1. All stock and profits in AI systems and social media platforms that have used human data are put in a “human fund” which is distributed monthly in the form of consumption credits or other consumption tools(money, crypto, etc.)to the citizens of the country where the AI system was built.
2. Any company that uses AI to displace workers is required to pay into the fund the amount they paid the workers using a multiple of economic value gained by laying off workers due to AI.
3. Given that income taxes are another form of extraction these taxes will need to be removed from the backs of humans too as work is increasingly done by AI systems. Welcome to the human-first future. Where human civilizations are not data, tax, and revenue farms to be mined for value, extracting their lifeblood and value for the enrichment of a few small men and women who are exploiting and abusing human trust and data for a new Koenigsegg Regera, yacht, or Botox filled girlfriend.

Founded by Brian Curry, Vector1 is a human-first research collaborative focused on solving challenges humans face in an AI world and research in areas such as complex systems, economic disruption, equality, and the future of work.
