Mission and Principles

We believe AI should be used to empower people, not exploit them. Unfortunately, not many know how badly AI has been weaponized against them except industry insiders. On the Internet, they have a profound influence over what we read and watch, the companies and products we encounter, and even the job listings we see. These algorithms are also implicated in problems like addiction, depression, and polarization.

We see decentralised AI in Web3 as an opportunity to level the plain field between platforms, developers, and creators and push the boundaries of user empowerment even further than what the initial Cypherpunks even dreamt of!

For 'mbd mission, this starts with ensuring that in the new attention economy:

1. Everyone has access to the same AI algorithms.
2. Everyone has the right to choose their own AI algorithms.
3. Everyone can earn from an AI algorithm trained on their data.

In 'mbd formative years, "Everyone" above meant means Web3 Developers, the pioneers building the onchain economy.We believe building AI that adheres to these principles will be the next unlock for Web3 consumer applications as it will:

1. Increase client diversity and decentralization.
2. Bring new net users to the space because they have control over their digital experience.
3. Create new monetization streams for app developers and creators through AI revenue share.
