DAIN - The Decentralised Artificial Intelligence Network

PREAMBLE

A storm has hit the investment market which we are not going to recover from. Crypto investment is that storm. With strict capital controls in place by most countries to control the flow of money and charge high taxes, cryptocurrency gained usage in circumventing capital controls and taxes, leading to an increase in demand. Cryptocurrency has been able to present an easy to use digital alternative to fiat currencies. Offering frictionless transactions and inflation control, investors have been prudent enough to add these currencies in their diversified portfolios as an asset, as the size of the market does not represent a systemic risk. Cryptocurrency employs the use of cryptography that assures high-security processes and verifies transactions personal to each user. Hence, counterfeiting and anonymous transactions are impossible to achieve.

While this revolution is gaining wide acceptance, DAIN, the next-generation artificial intelligence platform, a decentralized and geo-dispersed public computing network governed through blockchain and specialized in addressing and solving artificial intelligence problems has arrived.

"Blockchain and Artificial Intelligence are two of the hottest technology trends right now. Even though the two technologies have highly different developing parties and applications, researchers have been discussing and exploring their combination.

Additionally, blockchain can also make AI more coherent and understandable, and we can trace and determine why decisions are made in machine learning. Blockchain and its ledger can record all data and variables that go through a decision made under machine learning.

Moreover, AI can boost blockchain efficiency far better than humans, or even standard computing can. A look at the way in which blockchains are currently run on standard computers proves this with a lot of processing power needed to perform even basic tasks."

With that being said, DAIN enables the efficient utilization of computing resources from any device located anywhere in the world, without intermediaries, to solve complex computational AI problems. It rewards hardware owners and composes an AI marketplace where companies with the same needs can provide or discover solutions together.

Now that I have your attention, let’s get right to it.

What exactly is DAIN?

As depicted above and as indicated on the official website of DAIN, DAIN is the next-generation artificial intelligence platform, a decentralized and geo-dispersed public computing network governed through blockchain and specialized in addressing and solving artificial intelligence problems.

In addition, just so you know, DAIN is like a brain, just as electricity and the internet transformed everything, AI and blockchain will disrupt every industry in the next few years.

DAIN enables the efficient utilization of computing resources from any device located anywhere in the world, without intermediaries, to solve complex computational AI problems. It rewards hardware owners and composes an AI marketplace where companies with the same needs can provide or discover solutions together.

Furthermore, any user can teach the brain how to perform certain tasks and subsequently ask for these tasks to be executed. Likewise, another user can ask for the same tasks to be executed, as long as the first user has instructed the brain to allow others to access this knowledge

The brain will remember all the tasks it learns and continuously improve its performance of them. Eventually, it could perform any number of tasks simultaneously, with the sole limitation of its size. The brain has the potential for unlimited growth by adding more computing devices. Like a natural brain, it must consume energy to perform any task. In this case, the energy is the reward given to the device owners.

The Mission

Democratize AI access

AI out-the-box. No restrictions on data, computational resources, knowledge or time to consume AI.

Clear monetization models

Create new data-based revenue streams without losing control, ownership or awareness of your model.

New business & relationship models

The exchange of exclusive assets and services between companies and their customers/partners.

The Impending Challenges

AI entry barriers

Despite its great impact on society and enormous demand, AI and its needs are difficult to understand. Businesses and professionals are not prepared for its large-scale exploitation. These circumstances especially affect the most traditional companies, which are at a disadvantage amid disruptive transformation. To ensure the fair, cheap and agile integration of AI in society, benefiting both companies and their customers, specific tools are needed that address these entry barriers.

Vendor lock-in and neutrality

Black box behavior makes it extremely difficult to audit AI. The models can introduce biases through data, deviating solutions from the desired outcome. Or biases can be introduced by model creators when the created models reproduce representations of reality that do not match their ideological interests. Unaudited AI services from cloud computing service providers increase these problems. It is necessary to give companies the opportunity to choose the most neutral and impartial solutions and avoid vendor lock-in.

Sustainability

Recent studies warn of the huge carbon footprint and the high consumption of electricity resulting from the current approach to Cloud, AI and DLT. Today’s data processing centers consume around 3% of the energy produced by humans, and the power consumption of bitcoin mining already surpasses that of Switzerland. It is not necessary to manufacture more dedicated hardware to cover the technical needs of both technologies. To ensure sustainability, we need to better utilize the resources we already have in a more efficient way.

The Solution Offered by DAIN

DAIN gathers the lessons learned over the past decade and brings together the most cutting-edge technologies to offer a solution to existing problems.

Reduce the costs of IaaS

By using spare computing power, it eliminates the initial hardware investment from the IaaS cost equation. As it is a dispersed network, it does not need to cover cooling costs.

Accelerate time-to-market

DAIN has a marketplace of AI models created by ecosystem users, allowing companies to share solutions and harness the potential of existing knowhow. Through data and knowledge-sharing, the time for new developments will be reduced exponentially.

No transaction fees

DAIN is smart. DAIN can adapt to congestion and learn from the activity of its nodes to understand their motivations, preventing honest users from wasting their computing resources or paying transaction fees.

IoT and 5G ready

The absence of fees and the distributed computing model of DAIN allow very low capacity devices to be part of the network. This technology will leverage 5G connectivity and the wide heterogeneity of devices connected to the internet.

Zero-code solution

No expert knowledge is required to take advantage of its benefits. By using AI to design AI, non-tech citizens are enabled to start participating in the AI revolution.

Unlimited computing

Designed to put the power of a myriad of devices at the disposal of AI. Access computer resources easily, economically, elastically and on demand.

Confidentiality

Thanks to the latest and most innovative cryptographic techniques, all data and published solutions are completely confidential, even when shared among users.

Certified solutions

Thanks to the properties and nature of AI algorithms, all delivered solutions are certified by an automatic machine-to-machine process.
