Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are very popular in the cryptocurrency world today. These tokens can take many forms, from a simple image to an artificial intelligence. Find out how Humans.ai wants to showcase artificial intelligence using blockchain tools.
Artificial intelligence for humans
In recent years, artificial intelligences (AI) have benefited from numerous developments, and have found themselves in the spotlight. This strong development has led to various questions regarding the ethical side of certain projects.
The objective of Humans.ai is to ensure that humans remain in control of these AIs, so that they are not used in a malicious way. To do this, the platform will use blockchain technology, and in particular non-fungible tokens (NFTs).
The project aims to be a creative studio that offers various AI tools so that developers can thrive and share their creations. The blockchain will transform these various creations into NFTs, to add transparency, accountability, and long-term governance.
A story in many chapters
Like any good story, the Humans.ai story will be broken down into several major parts.
Currently, the adventure of the platform begins with the first chapter: synthetic media. The first creations will be content related to the media domain, such as gestures, personality or someone’s voice. Creators will be able to use these different tools to create new content with the help of artificial intelligence.
Two other chapters have been announced for the moment, but without a specific date:
- the second chapter will highlight AI NFTs for the medical field;
- the third chapter will highlight AI NFTs for the financial sector.
Human control
To ensure AI safety and ethical use, the platform combines the transparency of NFTs and blockchain with the “Proof of Human”.
This “proof of human” allows NFTs and their use to be verified by human third parties. In addition, it also provides proof that NFTs remain under human supervision.
The uses of NFTs
NFTs are the keystone of the Humans.ai project. Indeed, it will be possible to create an NFT of an artificial intelligence, an algorithm or a database, and then make them available on the platform. After that, it will be possible to make applications out of them. These various NFTs will also have their own governance tokens

Humans.ai governance through the HEART
The HEART plays a central role in the platform. Indeed, it allows to remunerate the application and AI developers, as well as the data providers. In order to make their remuneration more fluid, they will receive HEART even if user fees are paid by fiat currency or another cryptocurrency. In addition, in line with the platform’s values, it offers governance power to its holders, to ensure honest use of AI.

It is also possible to stake your HEART tokens. As a reminder, staking is a common investment method in the cryptocurrency ecosystem, where the user locks in their digital assets in order to receive a reward periodically. HEART’s staking will give access to various functions:
- Issuing NFTs;
- creating applications;
- adding artificial intelligence;
- or validating one’s account.
A pre-sale of 78 million tokens will take place on the Polkastarter platform on Thursday 9 December at 2pm for a unit price of $0.015. The maximum investment per person is set at $750.
At the time of publication, the whitelist to participate in this pre-sale is closed, but the HEART token will most likely be listed on other trading platforms in the near future.
This pre-sale, worth more than $1 million, will be added to the $9 million already raised by the project from some sixty investors specialising in new technologies and blockchain.
NFT governance
As mentioned earlier, NFTs will have their own governance tokens. These will allow the owners of these tokens to ensure that their use is not dishonest.
In addition, the licences of the applications sold to users will generate revenue that will be distributed among the various developers. These tokens therefore also serve to distribute the profits among the various token holders of the NFTs behind the application.
Conclusion
Humans.ai is a futuristic looking project that wants to link artificial intelligence and humans. The use of blockchain is relevant, as it allows transparency on the use of these creations.
As AIs continue to develop, they are likely to be more and more present in our daily lives, which suggests that Humans.ai could have a role to play in their democratisation and ethical control.
