A GLOBAL COOPERATIVE FOR THE AI ECONOMY
As AI reshapes the economy, people need an institution that represents them.
The Grid brings these contributions together so members can negotiate from a position of collective strength and protect their shared interests.
Through community votes, members decide who can use their contributions, which AI uses to support, and how returns are shared.
Economic security
Built for continuing income.
Collective control
Members vote on AI uses.
Shared ownership
An institution owned by its members.
AI needs more than data found online.
AI must understand local priorities, constraints and decisions to serve communities safely and earn their trust. Much of this context is not captured on the web.
Commissioned data is information people are paid to create for a specific AI need. Data farmers capture this context on their phones.
Beyond a one-time payment.
When our contributions continue to create value, we should continue to share in it.
The Grid is being built to negotiate long-term licenses that return income to members as their contributions continue to support AI.
Toward universal basic employment.
An open path to earning through useful contributions to AI, designed to support livelihoods as traditional work changes.
