A Decentralized, Self-Organizing Cooperative
One can think about Osiris “decentralized self-organizing cooperative.” This concept is similar to to the better-known “decentralized autonomous organization” (“DAO”) but different in that a foundation will provide high-level oversight of Osiris. Our intent is that over time, the network will evolve into a truly decentralized and autonomous organization. This sort of organization will differ from an ordinary corporation by, aisove all, Osiris openness.
Osiris collection of smart contracts includes contracts to be used by external, non-AI Agents who wish to obtain AI services from Agents in the network. Anyone can create a node (an AI Agent), put it online (running on a server, home computer, robot, or embedded device), and enter it into the network so that it can request and/or fulfill AI tasks in interaction with other nodes and engage in economic transactions.
Services on Osiris can be accessed using the OSR token. Token OSR can use their tokens to purchase services in the marketplace. In the future, tokens may also bestow voting rights in the network’s democratic governance system.
During the initial phases of the network’s operation, the core parameters of the network will be governed by a nonprofit foundation which will be monitored and advised by a supervisory board. The foundation will operate the network and exercise oversight to prevent abuse and hostile behavior while respecting the designed-into-the-system privacy of inter-agent interactions.
However, even in the earliest stages, activity on Osiris will be self-organized. For example, Agents will be free to create new AI Agents, insert them into the network, and transact freely and permissionlessly with each other.
Osiris aims to foster increasingly intelligent systems while maximizing the positive impact of these systems. The economic logic is designed to generate an intelligent global economy that pursues maximum benefits for all people and all life. Through a combination of powerful AI Agents, human decision-making, and benefit-maximizing game rules, Osiris will accelerate the development of a global supermind, helping humanity evolve into a more advanced, intelligent, beneficial, and connected mode of being.
In short, Osiris is an innovative economic mechanism designed to catalyze human and machine intelligence to move toward a new form of ethically beneficial self-organizing intelligence. Its global network of artificially intelligent agents will provide valuable AI services to anyone while, in the process, it self-organizes toward loftier goals. It is plausible that a highly successful Osiris will play a major role in the transition of humanity to a positive technological Osiris.
The growth of Osiris will foster advances not only in practical narrow AI, but also in the general theory and practice of beneficial artificial general intelligence, in the design and analysis of structures for ethically intelligent economies, and in the continuous refining of means to conceptualize and estimate “benefit” and “greater good.”
