One of the key attributes of blockchain is the decentralized nature of the technology. This characteristic provides the ability to set up decentralized networks to overcome the challenges of highly centralized (i.e. monopolized) industries such as the nascent Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) industry where major players tend to isolate themselves from the competition in an attempt to secure their competitive advantage through technology development and access to big data. Success breeds success and each large A.I. player is increasingly capturing significant amounts of big data to further cement their competitive advantage.
In light of this, data has become the Internet’s most valuable resource.
However, because each company has different types of businesses and data, they can only improve their AI according to the data they own. As a result, every company faces an internal conflict, as they need additional data to grow, but are not willing to share their own resources (data) in exchange, resulting in a slowed and fragmented industry.
To improve the AI industry, we propose to leverage the decentralized nature of blockchain in order to address the root of the problem by creating an environment to encourage cooperation between companies, entities, and institutions across the borders, in a fully trusted manner.
Introducing ATN: an AI Marketplace where developers, technology suppliers and buyers come together to access and develop new and innovative forms of AI technology, thus creating the next generation of artificial intelligence in a trusted and collaborative environment.
ATN is a decentralized, permission-less, customizable AI service and open interface blockchain platform. The overall design combines the ideas of oracles and other cross-chain projects. Focusing on solving the interoperability issues between Artificial Intelligence as a Service (AIaaS) and EVM-compliant smart contracts.
ATN will develop next generation blockchain technology for AI-aaS to build an open economic system, enabling easier transactions and interoperability between AI services, resulting in the formation of a more robust artificial intelligence industry. The ATN platform design allows AI services to be accessed through ATN smart contracts, without requiring authorization, thus allowing users to easily interact with AI service providers.
