The core problem we are aiming to solve

MyLife addresses the loss of personal and cultural stories in the digital age by providing a platform for individuals to preserve and share their narratives through ethical AI. In a world where data is often exploited, MyLife empowers users with full control over their digital identities, fostering digital dignity and privacy. The platform counters the problem of disconnection and isolation by creating a space for community-driven storytelling, promoting empathy, cultural preservation, and a sense of belonging. MyLife aims to build a more compassionate, equitable future through shared human experiences.

Our specific solution to this problem

MyLife in its alpha phase offers a comprehensive, ethical AI-driven platform designed to address the need for personal and cultural memory preservation in the digital age. Our solution focuses on empowering individuals to document, curate, and share their stories while retaining full control over their data. At the core of MyLife is an AI-assisted storytelling tool that helps users articulate their experiences, guided by narrative prompts and contextual suggestions to enhance expression and reflection.

The platform's architecture is built on privacy-first, decentralized storage solutions, ensuring that user data is protected from unauthorized access or exploitation. MyLife's consent-driven framework allows users to determine how their stories are shared or even monetized, enabling individuals to benefit from their contributions while maintaining ownership of their narratives.

To foster empathy and connection, MyLife beta plans to include community-driven storytelling features that allow users to explore and engage with stories from diverse perspectives, promoting understanding and cultural preservation. Our bias-aware AI models are continually refined to ensure fair and equitable outcomes, supporting inclusivity and diversity.

MyLife: Building a Transformative, Human-Centric AI Platform for Legacy Preservation

MyLife is a nonprofit initiative dedicated to creating a transformative, intelligent membership platform that empowers individuals to capture, preserve, and evolve their personal memories, narratives, and legacy while also engaging in collective stories. Through ethical AI innovation and human-centric design, MyLife is committed to fostering empathy, collaboration, and the preservation of cultural and personal histories for future generations. Our mission is to safeguard digital dignity and equity by ensuring that every individual has ownership and control over their data, AI knowledge, and digital legacy.

We have already completed our initial limited Alpha launch and are beginning our wide Alpha this quarter. The Alpha focuses on narrative and memory collection, improvement, curation, reliving and limited sharing.

This project proposal is for resources to complete the beta version of the project (described in detail below) where we intend to implement dynamic narrative/memory experience portrayals and community/collective story-telling.

Core Values

1. Human-Centric Ethical Architecture:
   Our platform design prioritizes empathy, affinity, collaboration, and meaningful relationships without profit-driven exploitation. Our architecture illustrates natural language consent structures for accessing individual member data and is open-source, transparent, and bias-aware through connection with multiple external ecosystem models.

2. Digital Dignity and Equity:
   We uphold every human’s right to privacy, ownership, equitable access, and participation in the digital realm. Members retain control over their narratives, data, and digital legacy.

3. Preservation & Legacy:
   We honor personal and cultural histories, creating a lasting repository of humanity’s collective story for future generations.

Core Focus and Purpose

• Core Focus:
  We have built an intelligent membership platform, currently in alpha, that preserves, empowers, and evolves humanity’s stories, guided by ethical innovation and human-centric design. Membership is free, but only open to human beings, no AI or organizations have direct presence on MyLife.

• Purpose:
  A nonprofit membership suite of services and an ecosystem of human-centric technologies—combining AI-driven self-empowerment, digital dignity, and collective memory preservation under a consent-first framework—offered free and accessible to all.

Ideal Members and Partners

• Ideal Member:
  An individual who values digital dignity and privacy, is motivated by ethical technology, and seeks to capture, preserve, and share personal or collective stories in a secure, consent-driven environment.

• Ideal Partner:
  A values-driven organization that champions human-centric innovation, prioritizes consent-first technology, and works to bridge digital inequities. Such partners possess transparent practices, support ethical AI, and align with MyLife’s vision for dignified, equitable digital experiences. Technologies emergent on SingularityNET would represent a large number of highly-compatible partnerships.

Unique Differentiators

• Consent-First, Human-Centric Ethical Architecture:
  External AI models or third parties cannot access member content without explicit consent.

• Controlled Licensing:
  Members have the option to lease or share their data through consent-driven contracts, including the potential for monetization.

• Open-Source & Decentralized Design:
  MyLife’s transparent and interoperable architecture ensures that content streams are decoupled to protect member data.

• AI-Driven Self-Empowerment:
  MyLife offers free and secure AI tools that help members articulate and preserve their narratives.

• No Trade-Off Between Convenience & Ethics:
  MyLife provides intelligent assistance without compromising control over user data or digital identity.

• Ad-Free, Affinity-Based Interactions:
  MyLife emphasizes genuine human connection, empathy, and creativity rather than algorithms or ads designed for manipulation.

• Global “Library of Humanity”:
  MyLife serves as a permanent repository for personal and cultural histories, promoting intergenerational knowledge-sharing and cultural understanding.

Marketing Strategy

• Target Markets:

  • Individuals Seeking Data Control: People who value secure self-expression, legacy preservation, and ethical privacy practices.
  • Underrepresented Groups: Communities lacking equitable access to secure digital tools.
  • Privacy Advocates and Creatives: Individuals and groups focused on cultural preservation and non-exploitative platforms.
  • Ethical Organizations: Entities that prioritize human-centric technology, digital equity, and cooperative communities.

• Approach:
  MyLife will leverage educational workshops, online discussions, and partnerships with community organizations to drive engagement and promote ethical AI practices.

Technical Innovation

• AI-Assisted Storytelling:
  Tools that guide members in capturing and curating their personal stories using AI-driven prompts.

• Privacy-Preserving Technologies:
  Decentralized data storage and encryption ensure that user data is protected and accessible only with explicit consent.

• Consent-Driven Licensing Framework:
  Members control how their stories are shared, licensed, or monetized, maintaining ownership of their narratives.

• Interoperability with Other Platforms:
  MyLife’s open-source architecture is designed for seamless integration with other decentralized AI systems.

Organizational Goals (Beta Release)

• Alpha and Beta Launch:

  • Alpha (Q4 2024): Initial Alpha Release based on MVP criteria was successful, paving the way for 2025's extended release plan.
  • Alpha (Q2 2025): Basic functionality including account creation, AI memory assistance, and narrative reliving features.
  • Beta (Q4 2025): Expanded AI tools, enhanced self-expression features, and initial community sharing capabilities.
  • Target: 100 wide alpha sign-ups with feedback, expanding to 1,000 beta users.

• Kickstart Federated Ecosystem:
  Develop integration definitions and protocols (API and AI-to-AI) to ensure interoperability with external models and platforms.

  • Target: Onboard 3 pilot partners by Q4 2025.

• Community Engagement:
  Conduct educational workshops focused on AI ethics, digital dignity, and memory preservation.

  • Target: 5 workshops with an 80% satisfaction rating and 1,000 new beta members.

• Organizational Development:
  Establish Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for product development, volunteer onboarding, and governance.

  • Target: Active volunteer staff of at least 25 and hiring of core roles by year-end. 

• Revenue and Financial Stability:
  Achieve stable philanthropic and grant funding complemented by revenue from partnering and ecosystem licensing.
• Federated AI Ecosystem:
  Integrate MyLife’s ethical AI frameworks with external mission-focused partners, fostering a human-centric decentralized AI ecosystem focused on digital dignity and equity. SingularityNET would be an example of a connected, mission-oriented platform with which we would hope to find ecosystem partnership. Our membership could browse, select and activate agents inside the MyLife platform.

Commitment to Digital Dignity

At MyLife, we are committed to ensuring that every individual has the right to privacy, ownership, and equitable access to the digital realm. We prioritize ethical AI practices, placing control and ownership of data firmly in the hands of our members.
