World Science DAO has a long-term objective: to build infrastructure capable of allocating up to $1 trillion per year to scientific research, mathematical work, public-interest technology, and free and open-source […]
The Free-Market Defense of Science Donations
Science donations do not contradict free-market economics. They solve a problem that markets themselves reveal: valuable scientific knowledge is often underproduced because its social benefits cannot be fully captured by […]
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 […]
Preventing the Prompt-Gaming Problem in AI Decision Systems
Prompt gaming occurs when a person designs an input to influence an AI evaluator without improving the underlying work being evaluated. Instead of demonstrating genuine quality, the participant attempts to […]
Why AIIM Is Impartial Unlike Human Decision-Makers
AIIM is not impartial because artificial intelligence is inherently wiser, kinder, or more just than people. It is impartial because the AIIM model is designed without independent agency: it has […]
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 […]
Why Superintelligence Needs the AIIM App as Much as Humans Do
A superintelligence may know vastly more than any human, but it would still face a fundamental organizational problem: not all knowledge, discoveries, questions, and computational tasks are equally important. A […]
There Are DAOs for Biology and Medicine. Why Is Abstract Mathematics Being Left Behind?
Decentralized science, commonly known as DeSci, promises to transform how research is funded, evaluated, and published. Yet the movement has developed unevenly. Biology, longevity research, biotechnology, and medicine already have […]
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 […]
