HI-5 Grand Challenge: 

5 categories, US$6,000,000 profit share prizes, a future worth building.

This is the invitation to students, indie teams, and creative rebels to build the world’s first Humane Intelligence™.

Create. Code. Own the future.

AI is at a crossroads.

One path leads to centralized control — trillion-dollar black boxes built on stolen data.

The other leads here.here.


To mypaloma, a Humane Intelligence™ designed by the people, for the people.


But a revolution this big can’t come from a single company.


It must be built from the ground up, by you.

After the Challenge Everyone Wins

When the lights go down, nobody walks away empty-handed.

The HI-5 Grand Challenge is built on an open-source foundation, a system where transparency, 

collaboration, and trust are part of the architecture.

Every team leaves with 100% ownership of their IP and the chance to shape the foundation of 

Humane Intelligence™ through open source.

Your code stays yours — your impact becomes part of something bigger.

Every line of code. Every story you tell, moves the movement forward.


Sponsors & Contributors: join the movement, fund the future 


The HI-5 Grand Challenge isn’t powered by venture capital - it's powered by conviction.

We’re inviting mission-aligned individuals, organisaions and brands to stand with us and back an intelligence that respects people, culture, and our planet. 

If your brand believes technology should enhance people humanity, this is your invitation.

Let’s rewrite what corporate responsibility looks like.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do we get started?

What looked like a small patch of purple grass, above five feet square, was moving across the sand in their direction. When it came near enough he perceived that it was not grass; there were no blades, but only purple roots. The roots were revolving, for each small plant in the whole patch, like the spokes of a rimless wheel.

Apparently we had reached a great height in the atmosphere, for the sky was a dead black, and the stars had ceased to twinkle. By the same illusion which lifts the horizon of the sea to the level of the spectator on a hillside, the sable cloud beneath was dished out, and the car seemed to float in the middle of an immense dark sphere, whose upper half was strewn with silver.

As I went on, still gaining velocity, the palpitation of night and day merged into one continuous greyness; the sky took on a wonderful deepness of blue, a splendid luminous color like that of early twilight; the jerking sun became a streak of fire, a brilliant arch, in space; the moon a fainter fluctuating band; and I could see nothing of the stars, save now and then a brighter circle flickering in the blue.
