Introducing the SingularityNET Team

Industry veterans join forces to power the future of AI.

According to Transparency Market Research, the global artificial intelligence market is projected to grow from $233.8 billion in 2017 to $3.1 trillion in 2025.

The biggest gains, however, will be experienced by platforms that accelerate the ability for AIs to learn from each other and leverage external datasets and capabilities. Such a platform would be one of the biggest breakthroughs ever in the evolution of AI.

To realize this vision, SingularityNET was born.
