Following the tenet, the idea for an initial business which meets all of the requirements is difficult. Most notably the first two laws:
- First Law - the company is For Externality Minimisation
- Second Law - the corporation may not harm humanity, or, by inaction, allow humanity to come to harm.
To reduce the amount of externality minimisation required it would be best to start from a point where most of this is done already. For instance starting a coal mining firm would not be the best place to start as it creates a large amount of externalities, CO2, emissions, biodiversity loss etc... So lowest impact... 100% autonomous system would be preferable. A Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) would be perfect however as of yet the technology only allows for semi autonomous organisations.
Submission 1 - Renewable Hosting
BurnZero is hosted on a industry standard server meaning it is more than likely powered by coal. The first action to address therefore would be to minimise the externality caused by the server by using a renewable energy source.
Submission 2 - Sea Water Conversion
Sea water, conversion to clean water. Using parabolic mirrors to condense light onto thermo/photovoltaic[1] cells which generate electricity to power no-filter[2] water filtration units.
Submission 3 - Tool Rental
A communally shared, low use / duration tools rental service which provides saws and axel grinders to people in an area.
Submission 4 - Data Centre Heat
Turn the heat produced by a data centre into heating for a house or even a city[3].
Submission 5 - Solar
Build an ap like https://www.legends.solar/ where the recycling cost of the solar panel is factored into the rebate made.
