Vision for a Sustainable and Independent Village Model

The Croatan Oyate Tribal Nation, led by Itancan Wašaka (Chief Strong) and supported by RBE Villages, is spearheading the development of self-sustaining villages based on Resource-Based Economics (RBE). These villages are designed to combine technological innovation, economic independence, and community collaboration to redefine modern living.

Cutting-Edge Infrastructure and Technology

At the heart of this initiative is a local, uncensored AI system housed in an underground data center, ensuring secure, reliable, and wireless-free operation. This AI infrastructure will serve as the core engine for all business and development operations within the village. Its key roles include:

• Automation of Economic Operations: Streamlining financial processes, supply chain management, and resource allocation to support the Business-Driven Small Village model.
• Data-Driven Innovation: Empowering residents with insights for sustainable manufacturing, housing construction, and communal resource management.
• Customized Training and Upskilling: Providing tailored learning modules to upskill residents, integrating AI-driven education into the community fabric.
• Enhanced Local Decision-Making: Supporting democratic and cooperative decision-making by analyzing data for better governance and equitable resource distribution.

Innovative Village Models: Technical and Social Impact

The RBE Villages incorporate advanced tools such as robotics, mechatronics, and modular systems, allowing communities to build energy-efficient homes and manufacturing hubs. The integration of AI ensures these technologies are accessible and equitably distributed. Social and technical benefits include:

• Affordable Housing: Energy-efficient homes cost $25,000, with an R60 insulation rating for superior sustainability.
• Efficient Construction: Two people can assemble a 500 sq. ft. home in two days, enabling rapid village expansion.
• Economic Empowerment: Collective ownership of technology fosters self-reliance and reduces wage inequality. The AI's guidance ensures effective use of resources, bridging socioeconomic gaps.

Key Benefits of Underground Data Center and Local AI

• Security and Autonomy: Local AI eliminates dependence on external networks, safeguarding the community from external influences or disruptions.
• Eco-Friendly Operations: The underground location provides natural cooling, reducing energy demands and reinforcing sustainability goals.
• Innovation Hub: The data center acts as a nucleus for developing scalable business models, driving the economic engine of the village.

Remaining Questions for Enhanced Results

To refine this vision, it would be helpful to know:

1. Community Size and Needs:

   • How many people will reside in the village?
   • What specific industries or crafts will the village focus on developing?

2. AI Capabilities:

   • Will the AI need to process visual, language, or numeric data predominantly?
   • Should it be designed for machine learning or act as a knowledge repository?

3. Data Center Details:

   • What is the planned scale of the data center (e.g., computing power, storage)?
   • What renewable energy sources will power it?

4. Governance and Collaboration:

   • How will residents interact with the AI to influence decision-making?
   • Will the AI also support external partnerships and markets?

5. Education and Skill Development:

   • What technical skills will residents require to maintain and improve the systems?
   • Should the AI provide certifications for completed training?

By addressing these specifics, we can further align the local AI system and underground data center with the village's economic and social goals.
