We don't have an economic model ready for a world where machines can do most jobs.
As automation and AI displace routine and increasingly cognitive labor, most economies still assume most people need traditional jobs to survive and find purpose.
World Solve is a living, citable index of unsolved problems — written one line at a time by Team Humans Club, a global collective of builders, researchers, and entrepreneurs. We do not solve the problems here. We name them clearly, explain why they matter in three lines or fewer, and leave them open for anyone — a founder, a lab, a policymaker — to pick up and build against.

AI, biotech, and crypto are evolving so fast that by the time a law passes, its assumptions are often already outdated, leaving harms unaddressed or innovation needlessly blocked.
A decentralized, verifiable identity layer would let people prove their humanity, credentials, or citizenship without any single actor holding the master key.
By the time symptoms appear, significant and often irreversible brain damage has usually already occurred, and current diagnostic tools are too expensive or invasive for routine screening. A cheap, early biomarker test would let treatments start years earlier, when they might actually work.
Solar and wind are now cheap to generate, but they're intermittent, and today's batteries are too expensive, short-lived, or resource-intensive to store power for weeks rather than hours. Solving this unlocks a truly renewable grid, ends most energy poverty, and removes the single biggest excuse for continued fossil fuel use.
