Digg Founders Aim to Build Human-Centric Social Site in AI Era

Digg's founders Kevin Rose and Alexis Ohanian aim to build a social platform focused on authentic human connections in the AI era by verifying users' humanity, compensating creators and moderators, and using AI for moderation while avoiding its misuse for manipulation.

• The rebooted Digg aims to create a social site focused on serving real people, not AI or bots, in an era where AI-generated content threatens to overwhelm traditional platforms.
• Digg's founders plan to use technologies like zero-knowledge proofs to verify that users are human before allowing them to join conversations, and offer different tiers of service based on the likelihood of being human.
• Digg envisions a model where moderators and creators financially benefit from their efforts, aligning stakeholders' interests and empowering creators who add value to communities.
