"SingularityNET is a blockchain-powered platform that allows anybody to easily \""create share and monetize\"" AI services thanks to its globally-accessible AI marketplace.Through the SingularityNET marketplace users can browse test and purchase a huge variety of AI services using the platform’s native utility token — AGI. Moreover the marketplace represents an outlet AI developers can use to publish and sell their AI tools and easily track their performance. The team behind SingularityNET pioneered the development of an AI known as Sophia which is described as the \""world's most expressive robot\"". SingularityNET’s goal is to enable Sophia to be able to fully understand human language and continue developing “OpenCog” — an AI framework that is hoped to eventually achieve a state known as “advanced general intelligence” i.e. human-level artificial intelligence (or beyond). The platform was first announced in 2017 and completed an initial coin offering (ICO) in December the same year raising $36 million in just one minute. "
