AI Internet-Meritocracy app offers an easy way to get grants for software or research, without grant writing and without the requirement to have a science degree.
To earn money with AI Internet-Meritocracy, you first need to create one or more of:
Then following the procedure (our service is 100% free for you), connect accounts at Connect page and then pass evaluation by an AI that decides how much to pay you.
Since passing evaluation you are eligible for a part of funds donated to our system. You will receive an email welcoming you to KYC verification before we deliver the first payment.
Support Independent Science
Our flagship product, AI Internet-Meritocracy, is an app (in the stage of open beta-testing) designed to allocate donated funds to researchers and open-source developers using AI-assisted evaluation of documented contributions. Payments depend on available funds and eligibility requirements.
Help fund the proposed five-month public test of AIIM’s allocation model with distribution of $1000 to eligible funding recipients. Support the next testing milestone.
Supporting independent science is not only a matter of fairness to researchers whose expertise and work are often underfunded. It is also essential for addressing systemic failures in scientific publishing that delay discoveries and leave important results unnoticed. In science and software, even one missing component can prevent an entire system from working.
Help valuable research and open-source infrastructure move forward. Please make a donation to support independent scientists and free software developers.
Independent review
Researchers and AI-safety reviewers: We invite independent technical criticism of Science DAO, AIIM, and related AI-safety work, including critical conclusions. Please examine assumptions, human-in-the-loop mechanisms, prompt-injection risks, governance, and failure modes. Use the independent-review packet →
Disclaimer
Experimental-system notice: AI Internet-Meritocracy is an experimental funding system. Its AI-generated evaluations are heuristic judgments based on available public or connected-account evidence; they are not validated measurements of a person’s causal economic or scientific impact. Payment transactions are already recorded on-chain and can be verified on the blockchain. The current beta initiates payments off-chain through Node.js and uses custodial and administrative components. Decentralized governance and non-custodial wallets remain under development; on-chain payment records are already available. Evaluations may contain factual errors or biases and should be interpreted together with audit logs, appeals, human oversight, and published test results.
