Currently, AI Internet-Meritocracy (AIIM) has the following limitations:
- It is engineered to pay salaries only to open source developers, scientists, and science marketers/popularizers, not for example to non-science journalists.
- It is a Node.js app with a custodial wallet (going to rewrite as a fully-onchain ICP blockchain app to gain a non-custodial wallet).
- Though sophisticated, prompt injection protection is unreliable. So, it relies on human voters.
- Batch OpenAI API usage is programmed, but not yet tested, and therefore is turned off. It works with the regular Responses API, instead.
Help Turn AIIM’s Beta into Evidence
AIIM remains experimental. The next proposed milestone is a five-month public adversarial test, with $1,000 planned for distribution to eligible funding recipients. Donations support the work required to run and evaluate that test.

AI-generated evaluations can contain factual errors or biases; decentralized governance and non-custodial components remain under development. Public testing, auditability, and external criticism remain part of the project.
