AI musings:

Excitingly, AI models trained on blockchain data have reputations as the blockchain's immutable audit trails of data are the input for these AI models - i.e. there is a reliable provenance of the data.

While the Ocean Market was built for #AI algos as the final end-customer, individuals can certainly buy and sell data there too!

In fact, our #DataFarming feature incentivizes individuals to participate in publishing and curating high quality assets on the Ocean Market.
