SingularityNET + FundRequest

SingularityNET teams up with FundRequest to fund bounties and the development of AI initiatives

Bringing AI to the people

Today, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is everywhere: from trading, over robotics, to big data. However, AI is also too expensive, too complicated and lacks machine-to-machine communication. SingularityNET aims to reduce these constraints by focusing on AI with cooperation. In particular, SingularityNET provides developers with better ways to access and integrate AI technologies by wrapping each AI-algorithm in simple protocols for exchanging data and coordinating processes.

By developing a decentralized marketplace, SingularityNET is thus opening the AI market to companies, organizations and individuals around the world.

“If SingularityNET realizes even a fraction of its ambition, it will be a formidable competitor to current corporate cloud-AI providers like IBM Bluemix, Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud. No company, no matter how large or smart, can provide as much AI cleverness as an energized, decentralized community of AI developers in every country around the world.” — Dr. Ben Goertzel

A two-way street: SingularityNET using FundRequest to fund bounties and development …

SingularityNET is entirely based on Open Source, and can count on a large community of AI-developers. SingularityNET will use FundRequest to offer bug bounties and reward the developers for their contributions by funding future development issues.

… and FundRequest using SingularityNET to explore AI applications within the FundRequest platform

FundRequest will explore AI-applications and collaborate with the team behind SingularityNET to use AI-tools.

More specifically FundRequest can use AI for:

Bounty discovery via search;

Use algorithms to police the Reputation System;

Create a help-bot for onboarding and customer service;

Manage the dispute flow whenever there is a conflict between funder and solver.

Conclusion

Convinced that open platforms are drivers of innovation, both FundRequest and SingularityNET are working towards a decentralized marketplace but each have a different paradigm. Through FundRequest, IT professionals can receive compensation for work while users/companies can provide incentives to these professionals to deal with requests important to their needs. Through SingularityNET users from around the globe get to level the playing field and leverage the power of AI.

By joining forces, we empower individuals around the world to participate in the gig-economy on a global scale and to support the communities they love.
