Blockchain & VR: Vision for an Open & Trusted Bot Economy

Room XK

This talk proposes a method to govern an Open Source approach to building computer interfaces. Seed Vault developers can take the open bot framework and construct their own avatar or bot and offer it to the wider community. Others can license that bot for their own use and receive SEED tokens in exchange – utility tokens that power the Seed Vault micro-economy. Seed Vault intends to decentralize AI, putting bots in the hands of more developers, companies and ultimately individual users.
