I remember playing the "X and O" game in a classroom whose walls were smiling at our doom, whose hat had been blown away after several struggle with some angry storm, whose space was fully occupied by some young hungry pupils being taught by Mr. Shaggi an angry and frustrated teacher who had no choice but to talk at top of his voice because it was open day (a day set aside for parents to visit their children in school to assess their children's performance in school), when I heard Mr. Shaggi mention "artificial intelligence" while reading from our English text book.
Since then I had wondered,
What really is Artificial Intelligence.
Artificial intelligence (AI) – intelligence exhibited by machines or software. It is also the name of the academic field which studies how to create computers and computer software that are capable of intelligent behaviour.
AI began with "an ancient wish to forge the gods"-Pemela McCorduck.
From antiquity till date i.e from when artificial beings were rumored to be endowed with intelligence or consciousness just as humans to when those rumors or myth sprung into facts, Artificial intelligence as grown exponentially and yet it's accessibility tends to be indirectly proportional to the large market size.
The requirement for large
annotated datasets and a complex technical infrastructure has driven AI
development behind the closed doors of corporations- This puts AI at risk of becoming a ‘black box’ that benefits only a select
few.
effect. AI, abstract.
Introducing the Effect Network
The Effect Network is a decentralized network or system proposed be Effect. AI to tackle the several problems facing the Artificial intelligence market
Problems such as:
- Accessibility,
- Centralization,
- Bridge between human and artificial intelligence, etc.
What is Effect.AI
Simply put,
Effect. AI is a Decentralized Network for Artificial intelligence.
Effect.AI is built on the NEO blockchain under the contract asset, with its token known as EFX (Effect. AI)
NEO is a non-profit community-based blockchain project that utilizes blockchain technology and digital identity to digitize assets, to automate the management of digital assets using smart contracts, and to realize a “smart economy” with a distributed network.

The effect network would be brought to live in three phases:
- Phase 1: Mechanical turk-
- Phase 2: Smart Market
- Phase 3: Power.
The three phases of the effect requires no fees, have a lowbarrier of entry and provides fast growth to its users.
This paper looks at the new Effect Force (Decentralized Mechanical Turk, how it can help employment generation in developing countries using Nigeria as a case study..
Ps: This paper will only look briefly due to my time limitation (I just saw this today)
Phase1: Mechanical turk (Effect M-Turk)
Effect M-Turk is a private, decentralized, marketplace for work that (for now) requires human
intelligence.
source
It is based on centralized business models like Amazon Mechanical Turk,
Fiverr, OneSpace and Guru.com. It’s a worldwide workforce on demand. A key difference
with these centralized models is that the Effect M-Turk is peer to peer, meaning supply and
demand are connect directly and more efficiently.
Mechanical Turk is a personal workforce of people that establish data for artificial intelligence, a workforce on demand that allows everyone in the world to request or perform task (Human Intelligence Tasks, HITs) that teaches and develop AI algorithms.
The dataset known as annotating data are inform of pictures, audio or text are the algorithms needed to run the artificial intelligence.
Hence anyone irrespective of their qualifications (with respect to Artificial Intelligence) can work on the network.
This phase could be said to be more like a bridge that link the labor pool to the reward pool. It allows for a swift and direct relationship between Humanity and Artificial intelligence.
Employment generation in Nigeria with Effect.AI
It is a common believe among the Nigerian youth that the government is indebted to them, which as left many young and power minds Unexplored.
Introducing the Effect Force to a country like mine will help tackle unemployment in several ways as an average Nigerian youth spends an average of five hours on the internet wasting off precious resources that could have been more fruitful.
Every average youth could get to be financially free by doing task that is not limited to qualifications but interests.
And a stable price and pay would help it's easy adaptability.
