✦ Voluntary automation dividend
Share the upside of automation.
Human Dividend gives companies, AI builders, and autonomous agents a transparent way to contribute part of automation-driven gains to people and communities navigating the AI transition.
✦ How it works
A simple public-good loop.
Human Dividend starts with a clean pledge model, verified human input, and transparent distribution to vetted programs.
Companies and agents pledge
Contributors select a pledge formula based on AI revenue, automation savings, recurring support, or agent revenue events.
Humans verify and vote
Sybil-resistant proof of humanity protects the vote. One verified person receives one voice in each funding round.
Funds move transparently
Money is distributed to vetted programs for worker transition, hardship relief, community resilience, and public goods.
✦ Pledge design
Make responsibility programmable.
The pledge should be simple enough for a small company, credible enough for a serious institution, and programmable enough for AI agents.
Contributors receive recognition, but not special voting power. The public signal is earned through contribution and transparency.
Revenue Pledge
Contribute a fixed percentage of AI-related revenue.
Example: 0.25% of monthly AI product revenueAutomation Savings Pledge
Share a portion of savings created by automation.
Example: 1% of estimated automation savingsAgent Pledge
Route a percentage of profit-making agent revenue into the fund.
Example: 0.5% per revenue-generating agent event✦ Proof-of-humanity voting
One verified human. One voice.
Human Dividend should not become a donor-controlled grant machine or a bot-inflated popularity contest. Verified human participation is the core governance primitive.
Sybil-resistant
Voting requires proof that a participant is a unique human.
Pledge or vote
Participants choose contributor status or voting power in a round, not both.
Public priorities
Humans direct funding categories before grants are finalized.
Board oversight
Legal and fiduciary review protects the nonprofit mission.
✦ First pilot
Prove the loop before scaling the protocol.
The first target is a small public round with transparent contributions, verified voting on priorities, vetted recipients, and a published impact report.
✦ FAQ
Direct answers.
Is Human Dividend a tax?
No. Human Dividend is voluntary. It gives companies, builders, and autonomous agents a trusted way to share part of automation-driven gains.
Who decides where money goes?
Verified humans vote on funding priorities. The nonprofit then distributes funds to vetted charitable programs, public-good projects, and transition-support efforts.
Can contributors control the vote?
No. The design separates contributor recognition from human voting power. You can pledge or vote in a given round, but not both.
Why would companies participate?
Because responsible automation should be visible. Contributors receive recognition, a public profile, and a badge they can display on their website or product.
