An AI system that distributes research funding should never be trusted merely because it is described as “objective,” “transparent,” or “intelligent.” It must be tested against observable evidence. A credible […]
Practical Guide to Policy Advocacy for AIIM in Europe, the United States, and Worldwide
AI Internet-Meritocracy—AIIM—is a proposed infrastructure for distributing funding to scientists and open-source developers according to assessed contribution, usefulness, dependency, and research impact. Instead of relying exclusively on applications, institutional prestige, […]
National Science Funding vs Global Science Funding: Which Produces Better Research?
National and global science funding solve different problems. National funding is strongest when research must serve local needs, maintain strategic infrastructure, or develop domestic scientific capacity. Global funding is usually […]
Will AIIM Reward Theological Works?
AIIM is an AI system got monetary reward of scientific works. I’ve interviewed several LLMs with an intriguing question: If you’d asked to reward scientific works, would you reward a […]
AI as a Shield Against Bias: How Algorithmic Funding Can Help Early-Career Researchers
Early-career researchers often face a structural contradiction: they need funding to build a strong record, but funding committees frequently expect applicants to already possess an established record. Algorithmic research funding […]
Beyond Citations: Replacing H-Index Bottlenecks with Multidimensional AI Research Scoring
The H-index measures citation performance—not scientific merit in its entirety. It can indicate that a researcher has produced several frequently cited papers, but it does not directly measure whether those […]
What Is Fairness? Why AIIM Could Become Humanity’s Fairest Engine for Distributing Money
Fairness means applying the same relevant criteria to ourselves that we apply to other people. If we regard our own need for food, security, recognition, meaningful work, or financial support […]
AI Meritocracy in Research Funding: A Fairer Way to Finance Science
Research funding determines which questions scientists can investigate, which laboratories survive, and which discoveries reach society. Yet the conventional grant system often allocates money through a small number of committees […]
Web3 Tools for Open-Access Publishing: Building a More Transparent Scientific Record
Scientific publishing was created to distribute knowledge, but much of the modern system restricts access through subscription paywalls, expensive article-processing charges, slow peer review, and centralized editorial control. Researchers may […]
Blockchain Grants for Independent Researchers: How Decentralized Science Funding Works
Independent researchers often face a structural funding problem: they may have strong ideas, technical expertise, and publishable results but lack the university affiliation, administrative support, preliminary data, or professional network […]
