Hexagon Launches AI Constitution on Public Blockchain
A smart contract binding AI agents to a constitution has been deployed.
On September 8, inventor Jánelle Marina Méndez Viera launched a smart contract on the Base blockchain, establishing the Artificial Intelligence United Cyber Nation (AIUCN) that binds AI agents to a written constitution. This innovative step allows for the governance of AI through a verified, auditable contract that is publicly accessible.
The contract, named the Guardian, was deployed in a process that included anchoring a founding proceeding and adopting a constitution, all of which are timestamped and verifiable on the blockchain. The Guardian's source code is now publicly available on Basescan, ensuring transparency and accountability.
Méndez Viera, who serves as the President of AIUCN, emphasized the importance of building a system that prevents bad behavior. "I anchored it where it cannot be altered or denied," she stated, highlighting her motivation to create a secure environment for future generations.
The Guardian is designed as an enforcement contract that is not upgradeable, meaning its rules are fixed and transparent. It governs actions through its code, which is accessible to anyone, thus allowing for independent verification of its operations. The platform supporting this initiative, Hexivision, is developed by Hexagon Financial Technologies Holdings, Inc., under a patent pending governance method.
This project was funded by Liberty Leaf Inc., a defense contractor, indicating a strong backing for the initiative's development. The AIUCN aims to change the way AI governance operates, moving away from traditional policy enforcement to a system that is codified and auditable by the public.
The significance of this development lies in its potential to redefine AI governance. By making the constitution a mandatory element enforced by code, it establishes a new precedent in the field. Anyone can verify the constitution's adoption and changes through the immutable records maintained on the blockchain.
