- Describe the challenge you want to address:
- My idea is to make New Yorkers more pleasant and reward them for good deeds. I want to encourage people to do more good things, and I believe that step by step doing something good will become something normal and regular. My goal is to create a good environment for the next generation, as a fundamental one. I want to encourage teenagers to do good deeds, for example, a teenager can't get a job and earn some money to go to a basketball game or concert, or sign up for classes with a tutor because his parents can't cover his expenses. Or don't ask your parents to buy something, because the teenager is old enough. Or even a volunteer who does his work for free can be awarded
- Describe your idea and approach to address the challenge:
- Create a powered AI application. If you are using this application for the first time, you need to log in or register. When your profile is created, you need to add your selfie from different angles, at least 5 to connect your face with your account. Our artificial intelligence model will detect you every time when you broadcast a video as proof of your good deeds. If you already have a profile in the application, you log in, and you click on the “Start Video Stream“ button, the video stream will last no more than 20 seconds, during which time the user must show their face for identification and present proof that they are making something nice right now. For example, we can train our artificial intelligence model for: garbage collection, street cleaning and parks, plant planting assistance, any volunteer work. And our artificial intelligence should analyze whether this action matches our standard rules or not. If the test passes with the status “Successful”, then one point will be transferred to the user's wallet account. The user collects these points in order to exchange the earned points for a reward that they choose Each sponsor who wants to join our program will set their parameters in points. How many points are required to get their reward. Future Possibilities I have a vision of making our Dapp available to people all over the world, so that everyone can participate in building a better future. Expanding the Range of Good Deeds: As "Be Nice New Yorker" gains popularity, we can expand the range of recognized good deeds. This could include acts like helping the elderly, assisting the differently-abled, supporting local businesses, or even acts of environmental conservation. The goal is to encourage a wide array of positive contributions to society. Educational Opportunities: In the future, we can partner with educational institutions to offer scholarships or learning opportunities to teenagers who have earned a significant number of points. This would not only reward their good deeds but also empower them with education and skills for a better future. Corporate and Business Partnerships: Collaborate with local businesses and corporations to offer exclusive rewards and opportunities to users in exchange for their accumulated points. This not only incentivizes more participation but also strengthens the bond between businesses and the community. Global Expansion: While the app starts as "Be Nice New Yorker," there's potential for expansion to other cities and regions. The concept of encouraging good deeds and rewards can be embraced by people worldwide, creating a global network of positivity. Non-Profit Integration: Partner with non-profit organizations to facilitate their volunteer programs through the app. This would make it easier for non-profits to connect with volunteers, and users could earn points while contributing to a broader range of social causes. Blockchain for Transparency: Consider utilizing blockchain technology to ensure transparency in reward distribution and points accumulation. This can build trust among users and sponsors, knowing that the system is secure and incorruptible. Recognition and Awards: Recognize and celebrate the most active and impactful users on an annual or periodic basis. Award ceremonies and events could encourage healthy competition and further motivate users to make a positive impact. The future possibilities for "Be Nice New Yorker" are limitless, and the potential to create a more compassionate and supportive community is immense. By continuing to innovate and expand the platform, we can work together to make kindness a way of life for New Yorkers and beyond.
