One of the hottest projects. Through the testnet, ordinary users can not only contribute to the AI ecosystem through data collection, optimization and annotation tasks, but also receive generous rewards and participate in building the world's first decentralized AI collaboration platform.
Breakthrough Testnet: Empowering AI Labeling with Blockchain
As Binance founder CZ once mentioned, "The combination of AI data annotation and blockchain has natural advantages - low cost, no geographical restrictions, and supports instant cryptocurrency payment." And Sahara AI tokenizes the annotation task , connecting developers and ordinary users through its platform, making up for the limitations of over-centralization of traditional AI development. Tyler Zhou, co-founder and COO of Sahara AI (former investment director of Binance Labs) said: “Sahara AI is building an AI ecosystem that everyone can participate in, whether you are a developer, data contributor or ordinary user, you can Get fair returns for your contributions, and better explore the value of different AI assets through blockchain and decentralized finance.”
In the first batch of tests, participants can choose high-value data tasks from various fields such as creator economy, finance, science, etc. After completing the task, the platform will reward users based on their contribution, accuracy and consistency, and have a ranking list to encourage outstanding performers. All rewards are issued in the form of points and lay the foundation for subsequent token distribution within the ecosystem.
Sean Ren, CEO of Sahara AI, professor of AI at the University of Southern California and chairman of the Viterbi Center, said: "Our goal is to build a fair and inclusive AI ecosystem where anyone can become part of the AI revolution through Sahara AI. In the future, AI Model developers can obtain high-quality data, models, and development tools through the platform, thereby significantly lowering the threshold for AI development.”
The launch of the testnet is the first stage of the development of the Sahara AI ecosystem. In the future, Sahara AI will launch more functions, including AI data market and model center, to further promote the tradability, traceability and decentralized collaboration model of AI assets.
