“I’m very proud of our team who has worked tirelessly over the last months to make this happen. This is only the beginning, as we plan to continue investing in innovation, empower creators to build without limitations, and innovate using Artificial Intelligence and Blockchain technology, everything based on governance and transparency for all AI models generated on the Humans.ai platform.”

Sabin Dima, CEO at Humans.ai

The Humans.ai team is building the next-generation blockchain platform that brings together an ecosystem of stakeholders around the use of AI to create a scale. It combines a library of AI tools into a creative studio suite where users will be able to pick and choose as they bring their ideas to life. With Humans.ai, users are empowered to create and own their digital likenesses, which may be used either by themselves or by others, in the creation of any number of digital assets. The company’s synthetic media, AI apps, and other digital assets utilize blockchain technology to generate Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) as a way of creating transparency, provenance, accountability, and long-term governance.

The company also recently launched the unique technology called Proof-of-Human, which validates that a human is behind every AI decision and uses blockchain technology to encapsulate each AI in an NFT (non-fungible token), thus providing a management and governance interface for that AI.

Humans.ai had previously raised $9 million from over 60 world-class investors in their private sale round, ranging from business leaders, tech executives, and blockchain experts to community leaders and top management from tier-1 companies. Lead investors in the Humans.ai startup have included Romanian entrepreneur Răzvan Munteanu, one of the most active investors in the blockchain space, and Elrond Research, the investment arm of Romanian blockchain company Elrond.
