Overview
Intelligent Internet II builds and maintains an open-source, distributed AI system to broaden access to artificial intelligence. It provides open datasets and models to communities, healthcare, and education, aiming to align AI development with human values and treat AI as a public good. The system operates through collaborative, decentralized development so that users can contribute data, models, and tools, enabling widespread use and governance of AI. Its approach focuses on democratization and collaboration rather than proprietary control, distinguishing itself from closed, centralized AI platforms. The overall goal is to create a digital civilization where AI empowers individuals and communities, improving health outcomes and societal potential while ensuring AI benefits are shared broadly.
