The BGI Collective is a collaborative platform that fosters discussions, shares resources, and provides funding for the development of beneficial AI, AGI, and other impactful technologies or missions. The initiative aims to involve everyone in conversations about AI ethics, governance, and the future of humanity, enabling contributions of ideas, time, and resources.
Vision
Our goal is to create an inclusive app/platform where anyone can help shape a beneficial future for humankind and the planet via survey, discussion, and collective intelligence. This platform will harness collective human intelligence to build a knowledge base that reflects global wisdom and priorities. By participating in discussions and voting on technological directions, individuals can feel empowered and involved in the rapid changes occurring in the world.
Key elements
Human-Human Conversations on Technology & Ethics
Encourage diverse, meaningful dialogues beyond individual bubbles. Facilitate one-on-one conversations, roundtables, forums, and the creation of high-quality content.
Human-AI Conversations on Technology & Ethics
Help individuals understand their values and desired futures through AI interactions. Empower people to actively shape technological progress. Guide and collaborate with AI in understanding human values and ethical considerations, ensuring mutual survival and beneficial practices.
Resource donation and allocation
Enable collective action and ethical decision-making. Facilitate personal and community resource donations to support beneficial projects.
Participation
Participants have the autonomy to specify how their contributions should be used, ensuring alignment with their values and goals. Users can contribute in several ways such as meaningful conversations about beneficial AI and related technologies, contribute money (FIAT or Crypto), computing power, or data, suggest and define projects that support the initiative’s goal, and allocate resources to projects through a community voting system.
Platform mechanics and implementation
The system encourages discussions on creating an inclusive, beneficial future and supports concrete projects that implement these ideas. A voting mechanism, based on identity verification and positive actions, helps distribute resources to agreed-upon goals. While the platform will incorporate blockchain technology, it will remain accessible through a standard web interface. The initiative will roll out in phases, starting with a web-based platform to generate discussions, synthesize data using large language models (LLMs), and facilitate donations. The ultimate aim is to develop a comprehensive app interface.
Final thoughts on joining the global conversation
Our initiative seeks to spark reflection, conversation, and action on humanity’s long-term goals and the role of emerging technologies in achieving them. By learning about and collaborating with these technologies and aligning personal values with global benefits, participants can help create a future where technological advancements are guided by collective wisdom and ethical considerations.
