A Cosy Basic Income

AI will replace jobs, but it will also generate economic value.

We’re building the CosyAI cooperative to help making sure that this value will benefit us all.

For this purpose, CosyAI will distribute 50% of the surplus it generates through a Cosy Basic Income system. The other 50% will be used to specifically compensate contributors and to help developing CosyAI’s technical infrastructure.

In more detail:

The CosyAI Cooperative will offer decentralized GPU clusters for a fee. After compensating the members who contribute the GPU servers (compute), the CosyAI cooperative will take a fee for the service.

At a later point, CosyAI will also offer safe

It will also offer specific LLMs and safe data pooling services and specialized LLMs for a fee to B2B custormers, as well as a CosyAI Suite of safe AI-based apps to individual users for flatrate subscriptions. Members of the cooperative can take over contracts to develop apps and provide services.

Any surplus CosyAI makes from its products and services will be distributed through a simple scheme:

  • 50% of the profits will go into the Cosy Basic Income fund.
  • 25% of the profits will go proportionally to holders of CosyAI Contributor Token.
  • 25% of the profits will be used to develop the general CosyAI project as determined by the CosyAI members.

Who will receive the Cosy Basic Income?

The Cosy Basic Income will be issued by the CosyAI Cooperative in cooperation with Cosyland NPO. In general, the Cosy Basic Income* will be distributed to:

  1. Individual human members who contribute to developing CosyAI and relevant tools.
  2. Individual human members who help members to improve their cooperative capacities.
  3. At a later stage, the group of eligible members will be extended.


*Note that the Cosy Basic Income therefore is not a universal basic income, since it does have clear criteria for eligibility. But it is generally open to all humans worldwide who join and contribute. Every human can only receive one Cosy Basic Income. The detailed mechanisms are tbd by the CosyAI cooperative.


The CosyAI Contributor Token (CCT)

The CosyAI Contributor Token CCT will be issued to members of cooperative who help with the promotion and value generation of CosyAI based on their contribution. The exact design of the CCT will be determined as part of the creation process of the CosyAI Cooperative.

Until the Cooperative is formally registered, active helpers can track their contribution times through our internal form, which will be converted into CCT once the token are issued.
