Project summary

10 Humans vs. AI (2027), a Neocast Original, is the World's First-ever AI game show that features 10 extraordinary humans to go against AI in 5 games over 50 hours for $10,000 in prize money.

What are this project's goals? How will you achieve them?

At first glance, 10 Humans vs. AI may seem like a viral Netflix-style spectacle that is unrelated to AI safety. While we certainly do expect to do well in terms of viewership (500M+ total impressions projected), the real message of the show is to encourage the next generation of humanity to truly consider what it means to be pro-human as a species.

The show is designed to be the beacon of AI safety for lay audiences: specifically 98.2% of the human population who has never paid for any AI service to date.

We are projecting 500M+ total impressions across 7 platforms (YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, X, LinkedIn, Reddit, and Threads) through episodic releases, launches, rigorous clipping strategies, and social media marketing campaigns.

We plan to co-author our initial set of releases (2 Trailers, EP 1 & 2) with EO (700K+ subscribers https://www.youtube.com/@eoglobal), and collaborate with streaming services like Tubi, Pluto TV, Samsung TV plus, and more. Ultimately, our goal is to create the Jubilee, Love Island, and Beast Games but for AI safety, and stream on Netflix, Amazon Prime, and more.

How will this funding be used?

We have already finished filming Season 1, and feel extremely confident about the winner on our hands. We are raising additional funding for post-production, clipping, and marketing (https://www.instagram.com/p/Da5mbqpiMnm/) that would be crucial for the success of 10 Humans vs. AI.

What are the most likely causes and outcomes if this project fails?

Martin has worked on this idea since 2018 (originally "Z Game," then "Turing Game," now "10 Humans vs. AI") for the past 6 years. He has been full-time for 8 months since receiving funding by EO, and do not intend to stop for the rest of his life. His personal runway is 10 years, and there is ample (documented) evidence that is available online to suggest that he is not only fully aligned with AI safety, but he also genuinely believes that this is his life's purpose and magnum opus to use his talents for the good of humanity.

How much money have you raised in the last 12 months, and from where?
