ZettaBlock, a unified platform for open and safe AI development, has announced the debut of Kite AI, a decentralized blockchain foundation layer that pioneers equitable, democratized, and secure access to critical AI assets such as data, models, and agents. Kite AI is the cornerstone of a decentralized AI economy, built on top of ZettaBlock’s proven infrastructure. It allows a global network of contributors, ranging from developers to businesses, to collaborate, create, share, and fairly rewarded for contributions of high-quality AI assets while preserving control, ownership, and privacy.
Large volumes of AI data are still fragmented today, which is impeding the development of the AI ecosystem. This is a result of consumers’ reluctance to provide data to AI models in the absence of appropriate attribution, equitable acknowledgment, or guarantees that private and confidential data won’t be exploited. In order to solve this, Kite AI protects private data while facilitating safe, transparent data exchange and model development with an innovative attribution method.
Since more and more GPUs are becoming accessible every day via both centralized and decentralized entities, the majority of decentralized AI initiatives only concentrate on offering decentralized compute solutions. However, this issue is temporary. Unlocking crucial AI data, models, and agents for broad, equitable usage in a democratized manner is a bigger, systemic issue that Kite AI addresses and that has an influence on the development of the whole AI industry. This strategy gives companies and developers complete control over how AI assets are used, guaranteeing equitable compensation depending on the effect and use of the assets. By allowing participation from organizations of all sizes, Kite AI democratizes AI development and levels the playing field that was previously controlled by a select few.
Chi Zhang, Co-founder of ZettaBlock stated:
The Kite AI foundation layer, which is driven by ZettaBlock’s decentralized infrastructure, enables sophisticated attribution for data and models, privacy-preserving development, and safe access to all AI assets in order to promote an equitable and cooperative AI ecosystem. While Smart Data Indexing easily arranges multi-modal data for various AI applications, Kite AI’s Decentralized Data Access Engine enables contributors to safely share and receive equitable incentives for data. Furthermore, Kite AI’s virtual database makes it possible for data to be processed and stored locally, enabling models for customized AI experiences while facilitating a decentralized, lightweight, and privacy-focused AI experience.
Professor Haiyan Huang, Professor and Chair, Dept. of Statistics, UC Berkeley said:
Kite AI’s data attribution and reward system is being shown at DevCon by ZettaBlock’s “Save the Llama,” where users provide data to build a live language model. It is also introducing Kite AI Builder Preview, which lets developers test out Kite AI’s framework for data and model collaboration.
