Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

SingularityNET is a well-established, high-profile project at the intersection of AI and Blockchain, founded by verified industry leaders (Dr. Ben Goertzel). The project has significant market presence, a large team (350+), and timely relevance given the AGI boom. However, the submission itself contained hyperbolic claims ('audience reach: everyone', 'most people have used my product') and ambiguous financial data ('all time marketcap: 17000000' is likely a typo for billions or refers to a different metric), which negatively impacted the Response Quality and Traction confidence scores. Despite the poor submission quality, the verifiable external reality of the project warrants a high score.

Project Details

Description
SingularityNET was founded by Dr. Ben Goertzel with the mission of creating a decentralized, democratic, inclusive, and beneficial Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). An AGI is not dependent on any central entity, is open to anyone, and is not restricted to the narrow goals of a single corporation or even a single country. The SingularityNET team includes seasoned engineers, scientists, researchers, entrepreneurs, and marketers. Our core platform and AI teams are further complemented by specialized teams devoted to application areas such as finance, robotics, biomedical AI, media, arts, and entertainment. SingularityNET is a founding member of the Artificial Superintelligence Alliance, the largest open-source, independent player in AI research and development.
