Cen

Our solution at Cen is the Basic Intelligence Token (BIT) network, an AI system that uses blockchain to run an efficient collaboration between machine and human experts while distributing fair rewards to knowledge givers. The system works by sending questions that are difficult for an AI to human experts, “Minders”, around the world. As these experts interact with the users and answer questions, knowledge is added to a distributed, blockchain-powered knowledge base. User's knowledge is kept with the user in a secure personal store that makes it available to answer questions in the future. Basic Intelligence Tokens (BIT’s) are awarded to those who provide information to our knowledge base. The value of their rewards is judged by the relative value of the knowledge they provide. Our users and partnering businesses will spend the tokens to access either the general knowledge base and can pay extra to talk to human experts for more professional information.

Invest $1000-$4,996: You will be recognized by the Cen by name and you will receive a bonus of 1 tokens per share.
Invest $5,000 - $24,996: You will be recognized by the Cen as a Cen Contributor and you will receive a bonus of 2 BIT Tokens per share.
$25,000 - $99,996: You will be recognized by the Cen as a Cen Ambassador and you will receive a bonus of 5 BIT Tokens per share.
$100,000+: You will be recognized by the Cen as a Cen Fellow and we will build a Cen prototype to introduce to you or your company and you will receive a bonus of 10 BIT Tokens per share.

Our AI network will be different from other popular AI systems like Alexa or Siri. Our BIT network will lack a central corporate owner. Instead, all services will be provided by the decentralized, global network of people who choose to participate.
The BIT network will protect user data. We will record user information securely in their device or encrypt it in a distributed system so that users can provide their data to services as needed rather than storing data in a central store.
The BIT network will connect computer and human experts smoothly to provide the most efficient knowledge service. The system will work by sending questions that are difficult for an AI to human experts around the world. Many experts 'Minders' are available at any one time so the human intelligence merges seamlessly into the AI sessions.
The BIT network will reward authors fairly. We are creating a system where authorship of knowledge is recorded securely keyed to a blockchain so that their influence is rewarded fairly.

If we manage to raise our over allotment amount of $1,070,000, we believe the amount will last us 6 months and plan to use the net proceeds of approximately $950,000 over the course of that time to build out the prototype, raise awareness of our company technology through PR and execute a much larger capital raised using one of the appropriate processes.
