As an alliance of a diverse set of organizations committed to the decentralization of artificial intelligence, we are proud to welcome Effect.AI, Matrix AI and Autonio as partners in the DAIA ecosystem.

We are collaborating with and uniting global blockchain and AI projects with a mission to advance decentralized AI technology that is aligned with human values. Coming together to collectively solve common challenges, we believe in a decentralized and widely participatory control as incentive mechanism for the creation of an AI acting for the greater good.

To collaborate by sharing technical and cognitive resources, to encourage business integration among decentralized AI applications and networks, and to spread the good work about the transformative reality and potential of decentralized AI, meet now another three great partners that are making this alliance possible:

Effect.AI

As an open decentralized network for Artificial Intelligence, Effect.AI provides services for the AI market. Their values are aligned with DAIA and their network aims to be more democratic, accessible and easier to use than what is at this time available.

By establishing accessibility, accuracy, performance and interoperability, Effect.AI promises to make training AI algorithms easier, faster, cheaper and decentralized. Their network is expected to enable the use of AI for all types of data analytics in a first phase called Effect Force. In a second and overlapped phase known as the Effect Smart Market, the collaboration between developers will increase as their algorithms are traded on a fully decentralized network. The third phase connects this all together by using the blockchain to distribute the processing power to run the algorithms over a global network; this is known as the Effect Power.

As Chris Dawe (CEO) commented about Effect.ai joining DAIA:

“Our project Effect.ai is at the forefront and cross-roads of decentralized AI. It’s a brand-new frontier and we know that we cannot do this alone. To be part of such an alliance with innovative, passionate and like-minded organizations and people, we have more opportunities to make decentralizing AI a reality.”

It doesn’t stops there and in terms of contributions he says:

“We have a vast network and a large community that is following us and supporting our project wholly. With this network we can spread the words and actions of the alliance and its partners and keep them up to date with the initiative and direction of the foundation”

Matrix AI

Founded in 2016, Matrix AI is an open source intelligent blockchain platform with the goal of solving some blockchain challenges such as wasted computing power, programing barriers and security flaws in smart contracts and slow transaction speed. As Professor Steve Deng, Matrix Chief AI Scientist states:

“We’re excited to partner with DAIA to democratize AI by developing cost-efficient and flexible machine learning and blockchain solutions available to anyone in a complete computing platform.”

The core to the founding vision of Matrix AI is to build a distributed AI ecosystem with robust performance, rich functionality, cloud-scale computing power, and enhanced data security that’s capable of supporting the growing demand for AI applications.

Their key innovations include: i) Auto-Coding Intelligent Contract, ii) AI-Powered Cybersecurity, iii) Adaptative Blockchain Parameters, iv) Value-Added Green Mining and a v) Dynamic Delegation Network.

Professor Deng believes that Matrix has much to contribute to DAIA, as he states:

“Building out a standardized end-to-end solution for hybrid public-private integration of our blockchain-enabled AI computing facility, with integrated cloud computing and distributed storage for the output of AI-assisted tasks. This could give individuals and institutions expanded capabilities in data sharing, data integrity, and data privacy.”

Autonio

AUTONIO, the first decentralized AI trading application for cryptocurrencies pursues to give ordinary crypto traders the ability to compete with the larger players in the space who already employ algorithmic trading techniques. They are willing to contribute to DAIA with their AI network NIOnet and take the first step towards making AI powered trading tools accessible to all.

Autonio’s Co-founder is Ali Raheman, a 22-year-old scientist, entrepreneur, inventor and medical student that despites his young age is already adding a lot of value to DAIA. He states:

“Artificial Intelligence is one of the most exciting and fast-moving areas of tech development today. With significant volumes of research, data, and new applications being generated daily, the ability to work with so many leading AI projects in sifting through all this information and collaborate within a common development framework is invaluable for the development of our NIOnet. We hope to work with our DAIA partners to define new methods for refining our products, and together work to establish the group as the preeminent organization for AI advocacy and research. There is perfect synergy especially if you look at Autonio Foundation’s overall mission and vision for the future. We believe that with AI, the sharing of data, resources and methodologies is critical to best harness the potential of this technology in a way that can benefit the greatest amount of people. The tendency with powerful new tech is often for the established players to silo their own work and research as much as possible, trying to accumulate the greatest amount of benefits for the fewest number of people. This perpetuates unequal access to technology which often develops into further types of disparities. By sharing resources and working within an open and common framework, we can practice our principles of open access to tech and work to counteract some of the less desirable traits that can emerge with areas of rapid technological advancement. This is one of the principles that helped create blockchain technology and later inspired us to found Autonio. It is our hope that our work with the DAIA will advance our vision for the wider adoption of AI, its use cases and help create a more just future for us all. As a personal note, I think decentralization of AI at a fundamental level using blockchain is extremely important for the long-term “safety” of humanity in general. Artificial Intelligence holds immense potential and the work we do here can have a astounding impact in shaping up the future, and I believe it’s essential to account for possible complications that could emerge by building powerful AI. We’re glad to be part of an alliance that realizes these potential complications and has joined hands to build a prosperous and safe future.”

How can you get involved?

Our vision is to foster a world where AI technologies and associated data are made open with decentralized, democratic control for the benefit of all sentient beings.

The immense potential of AI means that it can either increase the inequalities of our societies or liberate us from numerous sufferings. We believe the best way forward is to come together and work practically toward creating a better future. We see a massive potential for evolution in the established centralized corporations. We believe tech giants can contribute immensely toward making the vision of DAIA a reality.

We are welcoming the participation of those corporations that are sincere about their aim and goal of democratizing AI. The open access networks that have come together to form DAIA, such as Effect AI, Matrix AI and Autonio are the enabling layer for such a democratization process.
