opSingularityNET ( AGIX )
SingularityNET is a blockchain-based platform that allows anyone to easily “build, share, and monetize” AI services thanks to its globally accessible AI marketplace
The team behind SingularityNET spearheaded the development of an AI known as Sophia, which is described as "the world's most expressive robot."
The goal of SingularityNET is to enable Sophia to fully understand human language and to continue developing "OpenCog" -
AI frameworks that hope to achieve a state known as “advanced general intelligence”, that is, human-level (or beyond) artificial intelligence.
SingularityNET was founded in 2017 by CEOs Ben Goertzel, David Hanson and Simone Giacomelli. Goertzel has more than 20 years of experience applying machine learning and other AI technologies to longevity and genomics. Hanson, who left the project in November 2018, founded several robotics startups. Giacomelli previously worked at cryptocurrency consultancy Cryptodex and left the project in March 2019, focusing on Vulpem's technology research and development lab.
The team developed an AI robot known as Sophia, one of the first use cases for SingularityNET. The goal is to develop Sophia into a human-level AI.
