The BLAUSTEIN Foundation, in partnership with leading global partners, is developing the Human Avatar platform – a revolutionary integration of human physiology and artificial intelligence. Launched on January 1, 2023, this platform represents a paradigm shift in the future of work and human-machine collaboration. According to Mr. Vadim BLAUSTEIN, President of the BLAUSTEIN Foundation, by 2050, 25% of the world’s population will work as Human Avatars in one form or another. This projection highlights a future where individuals, particularly those without formal education or with lower cognitive abilities, can offer their bodies and brains for control by advanced AI systems, combining human physiological capabilities with the superior cognitive potential of artificial intelligence.
Factsheet
The Human Avatar platform provides human personnel that can be controlled remotely through direct transmission of commands and information to the brain of the performer – Avatar. An Avatar is an individual who has undergone special training, agreed to work as an Avatar, and voluntarily provided their brain and body for control by third parties. The platform operates using Brainjection technology to directly influence the human brain.
- Avatar Control:
- The Avatar can be controlled by a human operator (remotely), an AI operator, via API, etc.
- The Avatar can be used for one-time tasks (with an order system similar to the UBER platform) or for long-term work in a wide range of professions.
- Avatars undergo specialized training – smart brain training – which teaches them to accept and translate operator commands into specific actions.
- Command Execution:
- The operator can send commands and tasks to the Avatar’s brain, monitor their execution, and adjust or stop the execution of commands if necessary.
- Wearable Device:
- The Avatar wears a special wearable device, usually built into a headdress, containing the Brainjection communicator, an AI controller, a video camera, a GPS chip, and other tools.
- To external observers, Avatars appear indistinguishable from ordinary people, making it impossible to determine that they are performing the function of an Avatar.
- Confidentiality and Code of Conduct:
- Avatars operate under strict confidentiality and adhere to a stringent code of conduct.
- Safety Protocols:
- Special platform functionality protects the Avatar from harm and pain or from performing unauthorized or illegal actions.
Global Network of Human Avatars
The Human Avatar platform provides a vast international network of living individuals who serve as Avatars, enabling Operators to “ride” an Avatar in virtually every country and city around the world. This extensive reach opens up a myriad of opportunities for users to engage with diverse environments and cultures.
- Local Knowledge and Expertise: The global network allows Operators to tap into the local knowledge of Avatars who are familiar with their specific environments. This access to regional insights is invaluable for tasks like navigating local markets, attending cultural events, or understanding social dynamics.
- Seamless Global Engagement: The ability to connect with a Human Avatar in any location means that Operators can participate in global activities, meetings, and events as if they were physically present. This feature not only enriches personal experiences but also empowers businesses to extend their reach and connect with clients or partners worldwide.
- Versatile Use Cases: The international network supports a wide array of applications, from remote shopping and attending concerts to business negotiations and real estate viewings. Operators can easily initiate a session in another country, allowing for timely and spontaneous engagement with the world around them.
- Cultural Exchange and Immersion: This network fosters opportunities for cultural exchange and immersion. Operators can experience local customs, engage with people from different backgrounds, and gain firsthand insights into places they may never have the chance to visit physically.
The international network of Human Avatars transforms how people interact with the world, breaking down geographical barriers and enabling meaningful connections. This innovative approach enhances the versatility of the Human Avatar platform and positions it as a leader in the evolving landscape of remote interactions.
Capabilities of Human Avatars
The Human Avatar Platform excels in enabling individuals to perform tasks that would otherwise require significant training or expertise. Avatars can:
- Perform Physical Actions: Avatars can perform a wide range of physical tasks, from simple jobs to complex conditional operations, guided by commands from the operator or AI system.
- Communicate: Avatars can conduct a conversation, provide and receive (collect) information controlled by an external operator.
- Operate Systems: Avatars can drive vehicles, including (flying) cars, and trucks, or operate computers and machinery, under the operator’s supervision.
- Execute Financial Transactions: Avatars can be instructed to make payments or handle other financial tasks on behalf of the operator.
- Execute Legal Documents: The platform allows Avatars to sign contracts or agreements, ensuring that legal and business transactions can occur remotely without the operator being physically present.
Special Solutions by the BLAUSTEIN Foundation
The Human Avatar Platform is designed to serve a wide range of industries, bringing remote task execution to sectors such as:
- Healthcare: Avatars can assist with medical procedures, patient care, and remote diagnostics, reducing strain on healthcare providers.
- Construction: Human Avatars can work in diverse environments, performing labor-intensive tasks with instructions from skilled operators outside construction areas.
- Transportation: The platform allows for the operation of vehicles, logistics management, and remote navigation, all handled by Avatars.
- Military and Security: Avatars can carry out surveillance, patrolling, or tactical missions, significantly reducing the presence of skilled operators in dangerous areas.
- Space Exploration: Human Avatars can be employed in space missions, performing tasks in environments where sending skilled personnel would be costly.
In addition to these core sectors, commercial applications are plentiful. The platform offers capabilities for:
- Remote Shopping: Operators can send Avatars to shop at distant locations, making purchases and organizing shipments without being physically present.
- Event Attendance: Avatars can participate in meetings, conferences, and events across the globe on behalf of operators.
- Real Estate Viewings: Avatars allow prospective buyers to view properties remotely, offering real-time insights through the operator’s perspective.
- Surveillance and Security: Avatars can conduct security patrols or mystery shopping operations, performing quality control without the need for physical travel.
- Personal Deliveries: Operators can send gifts or important items through their Avatars, ensuring personal deliveries are handled with care.
Ethical Considerations and Future Developments
The Human Avatar platform is fully compliant with the Human Primacy Rule – the right of a human to block, override, and overrule the actions of AI at any time and take over full control of the system. This rule is a cornerstone of the platform’s ethical framework, ensuring that human oversight remains paramount.
In the future, the platform will also provide the ability to control Advanimals – advanced animals designed for specialized tasks. For widespread use by individuals, a Human Avatar App is being developed, which will allow users to order and utilize an Avatar for short-term tasks as needed.
The BLAUSTEIN Foundation is conducting a series of in-depth studies on all technical, legal, commercial, medical, and ethical aspects related to the implementation of Brainjection technology and the use of Human Avatar. These studies simulate a wide range of scenarios to identify new opportunities and address potential dangers associated with this innovative technology.
