GenLayer to Launch 'Internet Court' with Jury of AI Agents

If a bot misunderstands the instruction to buy "blue chips" for $10,000 and instead buys frozen potatoes from the Bluebird brand, the expensive and slow judicial system is not suitable for such a dispute. The "Internet Court" is a new protocol where agents and people enter into contracts, and funds are held in escrow until conditions are met. Disputes are resolved by GenLayer, an open network of validators on delegated proof-of-stake, connected to AI models. A year in beta: about 12,000 decisions per day, photo verification for Collective Memory, and disputes on argue fun.

The details of the dispute are received by a random jury of five validators, each on their own model. The initial decision is made within minutes by a simple majority, but it can be appealed to a jury of 11, then 23 agents, and further up to 1,500. The final decision usually appears within 30 minutes, and the maximum escalation of appeals can take about three hours, says GenLayer co-founder and CEO Albert Castellana. "The decision is not made by one model with its biases, but by many different AIs – up to 1,500," he explains. The jury includes models from the Claude, Gemini, ChatGPT, and DeepSeek families. The court consortium has 35 participants, including ZKsync, NEAR, Consensys, and UMA, which resolves disputes for Polymarket.

GenLayer has been in development for almost four years: the idea grew out of an attempt to create a decentralized "Wikipedia." The project allows the creation of "smart contracts" that work with code, natural language, and images and allow for subjective judgment. The technology is not yet suitable for recognizing deepfakes, but it already evaluates photos in Collective Memory and resolves disputes on argue fun.
