Effect network: setting phase 1 in motion

Introduction

Thanks to the likes of Walt Disney, Warner Bros, J.J Abrams, Joss Whedon, who have all taken it up as a point of duty to expose more than half the world to the world of artificial intelligence (AI), through Science-fiction movies, books and so on. The concept of AI is no longer a new topic today. Notwithstanding, the prevalent perception, especially in many developing countries is that, AI only exists in the cinematic world when in fact, it is more at home with us than we can realize- search engines, voice and facial recognition devices, fully-automated cars, the list is near endless.

Basically, artificial intelligence is any form of intelligence that attempts to replicate certain aspects of human intelligence or capabilities and this is informed by a set of already installed programmes, followed by independent observations, demonstrations and a series of virtual gameplays.
Like earlier mentioned, AI is not a new thing today, and the truth is, it is growing at a very rapid rate. The only sad side to this is the fact that a concept as non-trivial as AI is left at the mercies of a few- corporate and information technology firms. As a result, these organizations enjoy the monopoly of being able to shield novel information about AI from the rest of the world. On a second thought, this is probably a blessing in disguise. Imagine that these informations are made public, perhaps it would just fast-track that fear that every 21st century man can relate to: that in a not so far future, machines would completely replace humans in the workplace.

Eliezer Yudkowsky opined:
"By far, the greatest danger of Artificial Intelligence is that people conclude too early that they understand it."

Luckily, this is where Effect.AI comes into play.

EFFECT.AI
Effect.AI is
a decentralized network AI powered by Neo blockchain technology, which was set up to build the Effect network and in order to bring it into full operation, evolution will be in 3 phases.

Phase 1: Effect force (Decentralized Mechanical Turk)
This phase focuses on creating an interface between developers, companies and users wherewith, the former would be able to put up tasks (micro) for people to complete. The good thing about this is that it is a win-win for all involved parties. Developers will be able to improve the performance of their applications, companies will be able to accomplish their goals and users get to earn a token.
This phase is very important as its success will determine how feasible the other phases will be and to preempt how each will pan out.

Phase 2: Effect Market
After a solid user base must have built from a successful phase 1, the next step is to concenttate on setting up a marketplace where AI services can be bought and sold.

Phase 3: Effect Power
This phase is the last and it will ensure that AI systems can lend information to one another as at when necessary. Just as no man is an island on his own, no AI system so far is capable of independent existence or remote supply of all information by itself. Hence, the need to build an ecosystem where these systems can readily access resources and information.

EFFECT FORCE: DECENTRALIZED MECHANICAL TURK

From the aforementioned the advent of Effect force would have a positive ripple effect, both social and economic-wise across several climes, particularly in developing countries.
The blueprint reveals that Effect force has an aspect set apart for human intervention and verification, meaning it would help to create gainful employment opportunities, which will in turn, downplay the high incidence of vices and crimes in developing countries especially. Afterall, its been said of old times that an idle man is the devil's workshop.

Notably too, Effect network guarantees fair and instant pay. As is quite evident from the foregoing that this network relies hugely on human intelligence, it means that humans will always be in demand and this translates to pay. The way the network is set to take off, the pay is certainly going to be instant and fair because tasks would not be priced by either party, but it would be determined by supply and demand forces. This is very good because these tasks are very easy and do not consume a lot of time, as such, it allows people with jobs to also earn something extra on the side. By so doing, in the long run, it would promote better standard of living, in societies.
Another good thing about micro-tasking is that it eliminates the problem of inefficiency, ineffectiveness, lack of creativity arising from monotonous works. Micro-tasking or division of labour usually yields the best result.
Take a water-bottling company for example. While some workers are charged with the responsibility of collecting bottles from the bottle fabricating machine, likewise, a number are manning the water deionizer and purifier, the list goes on and on. In the end, the packaged bottle water is made available for commercialization. No doubt, if these jobs had not been micro-tasked, then it have been very inefficient or worse, a colossal failure.

Conclusion
Effect.AI is the answer to your many questions. Think global. Think big. Think Effect.AI network.
Its coming soon!
