The belief that everybody should be able to plug into a network with a bit of their research or data has brought HARA and the revolutionary AI solution SingularityNET together in a new partnership. With both companies enabling and encouraging data entrepreneurship, the new collaboration will focus on improving the value our ecosystems can give to their stakeholders.

Where HARA focuses on data, SingularityNET lets anyone create, share, and monetize AI services in their decentralized network. The company has attracted leading minds in the world of AI, machine learning, and blockchain to help them achieve their goal of democratizing access to AI technology so that everyone can take advantage.

One of the most recognizable products that SingularityNET has worked on is Sophia, the world’s most expressive robot, which is powered by multiple of their AI modules to see, hear, and respond to external input emphatically. Since her activation in 2016, Sophia has traveled the world and has been covered extensively in the media, ranging from newspapers to late-night shows. In 2017, she became the first robot ever to receive citizenship.

“From its conception, SingularityNET has been committed to broadening access to AI. We want to see a world where AI is open and decentralized — accessed and influenced by all. HARA’s grassroots focus falls right in line with this goal. “In Indonesia, family-owned farms represent the core of the country’s economy, but that’s not reflected in the distribution of wealth. This partnership will help change that and as a native of the ASEAN region, we couldn’t be prouder to see a leading player like HARA tackle this challenge head-on.” — Arif Khan, SingularityNET VP Of Marketing and Partnerships.

SingularityNET’s role in the partnership is a perfect fit in the HARA Ecosystem as a Value Added Service. The AI companies team of researchers can provide new insights by processing the raw data that is collected on the HARA Data Exchange.

Also, SingularityNET will aim to widen the data collection capacities of the farmers and field agents, create and improve image processing systems, and deliver insights and understanding of crop diseases for better agricultural practices.

The company has already accumulated experience in the diagnosis of crop diseases through other projects they have undertaken. Automated diagnosis solutions have great potential to address epidemics that ravage fields across the world, destroying crops and the livelihoods of many smallholder farmers in developing countries.

The labeled data collected on the HARA Data Exchange will be of great help to SingularityNET in the development of automated diagnosis tools and other products. On the Data Exchange, they will have access to a vast amount of primary data, refined data, and near real-time data, invaluable to machine learning and fine-tuning SingularityNET’s AI systems.

“Working together with SingularityNET will add AI solutions to the HARA ecosystem, but above all, our main focus of this partnership is on building communities. Both networks will thrive from the collaboration between us, and with the wider blockchain ecosystem.” — Imron Zuhri, CTO of HARA

The partnership with SingularityNET and HARA will speed up the development of solutions that will provide real value for the millions of smallholder farmers. We look forward to work together and create a real social impact for the people that need it most!
