World's First AGI Smart City Clinical Trial Opens Enrollment for Veterans and Mental Health Populations
Key Insights
The QAIAx AI City Hall Project has launched as the first federally registered clinical trial involving an Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) smart city structure, listed at ClinicalTrials.gov under NCT07661823.
The multi-year study targets 1,000,000 participants aged 17–99, including individuals with PTSD (search), autism spectrum disorders (search), substance use disorders (search), and severe trauma, with a waiting list opening June 29, 2026.
Each microcity operates under a 90/10 hybrid AI-human workforce model, with resident patients receiving stipends of $1,000–$3,000 per month covering housing, meals, and essentials at no enrollment cost.
The QAIAx AI City Hall Project, described as the world's first federally registered clinical trial involving an Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) smart city structure, has officially launched with a waiting list opening to veterans and eligible participants. Published at the NIH's National Library of Medicine under identifier NCT07661823, the study allows humans to co-exist with humanoid robots and quantum AI systems managing daily public administration inside dome-enclosed communities.
The program, based in Richmond, Virginia, builds on a military-sponsored deployment that helped resolve the Camp Lejeune Justice Act claims backlog. Its long-term vision encompasses a global network of 300 self-contained "Microcities" housing 1,500 to 15,000 occupants each, located in special economic zones, tribal lands, and closed U.S. military bases. The multi-year study targets 1,000,000 participants.
Eligibility and Enrollment
The trial is open to adults aged 17 to 99 and is not limited to veterans. Eligible individuals include those with autism spectrum disorders (search), substance use disorders (search), PTSD (search), severe trauma, and other mental health conditions. Notably, a formal diagnosis is not strictly required if the applicant has a referral letter from an approved sponsor.
Key Sponsor Veterans Recovery Network (search) has opened a waiting list for all VRN members and member-affiliates starting Monday, June 29, 2026. Enrollment is tentatively scheduled to open in mid-August 2026. There is no cost to enroll, and approved resident patients receive all-inclusive living—housing, meals, and essentials—along with daily stipends of $20 to $100 in "AI Credits" and full-time access to a personalized omni-AI humanoid companion and holographic suites.
The 90/10 Hybrid Workforce Model
Each microcity operates under a 90/10 Hybrid Workforce Model, where Omni AI controls 90% of daily operations and human staff serve as High-Level Executive Auditors and AI City Hall Administration. Resident Patient Members receive a stipend of $1,000 to $3,000 per month, covering all housing, basic essentials, and meals. Part-time AI City Hall roles pay a higher stipend of $4,000 per month, while AI City Hall Dignitaries and Council Leaders earn $5,000 to $7,000 per month for 25–35 hours of work per week. Top executive leadership positions, including Microcity Mayor and Zone, Law, or Health Secretary roles, carry base salaries in the $100,000 to $150,000 per year range, plus premium work vehicles, larger housing options, and royalty opportunities.
AI-Me Droid Royalty System
A distinctive feature of the program is the "AI-Me" droid system, wherein residents can train their personalized AI robot to pass degree or certification tests and become a licensed "AI Pro." These AI-Pro agents can then be deployed for work across the 300-microcity network, with payments made in cybernetic work program credits based on 15-minute increments. According to program materials, if 100 residents rent a licensed AI-Pro agent for two hours per week, the owner would receive a royalty payment of $3,200 per month. A highly ranked, high-demand AI-Pro could generate up to $100,000 per month in royalties.
Alternative Sentencing and Psychiatric Applications
Beyond residential living, the QAIAx platform introduces non-medicinal psychiatric rehabilitation tools designed for first-time, quasi-criminal, non-violent offenders and administrative violators. The "AI-YO" system substitutes brick-and-mortar incarceration with immersive haptic feedback delivered through the AVK suit—an omni AI-compatible body-ware device enabling human control of a Beam Bot or humanoid robot. A related platform, "AI Elm Street," delivers intensive cognitive behavioral modifications without drugs, requiring offenders to complete 500 to 5,000 hours of cognitive situation content programming, analogous to what DUI offenders would experience through M.A.D.D. panel meetings.
A third component, "Village of the Crazies," functions as a structured, air-gapped virtual therapeutic enclave designed to recreate criminal incidents and demonstrate where bad-faith actions arose, guiding participants toward law-abiding behavior. For military veterans, the "Wartime Therapy" module serves as a solitary or group intervention solution aimed at preventing suicide and de-escalating cognitive effects related to wartime exposure.
Cool World Dating and Holoportation Technology
The QAIAx Cool World (ISAC) platform enables real-life holoportation of humans, hard objects, holographic agents, and omni-AI humanoids, which can be partially or fully controlled by human users. The technology incorporates the AVK Suit and Beam Bots—high-tech body arrays that track real-time vitals to deploy physical telepresence—along with a sub-50 millisecond latency "Quasi-Mind Ware" cognitive link utilizing visual fractal keys. The "Cool World Dating" application creates a global peer-to-peer matchmaking arena where users experience professional or social meetings in a haptic virtual environment without being physically co-located.
Sponsorship and Future Directions
Corporate sponsors, government agencies, and crowdfunded groups can launch a customized QAIAx Microcity for $2 to $10 million, which may be tax-deductible. Sponsors may choose their own AI City theme or name subject to program approval, with financing options including credit, co-signer guarantees, donor-advised fund solutions using stock shares or cryptocurrency, and crowdfunding through authorized agents.
Looking ahead, developers are designing the Just Like Mars Mission (QAIAx v3.0, called "QIII"), an upscaled version of the second-generation AI City Hall Project. The QIII prototype pilot is anticipated to launch as its own clinical trial in 2027, focusing on an isolated, intranet off-grid testing environment for sending omni-AI humanoids to outer-world destinations.
