The team behind ZettaBlock launched decentralized artificial intelligence (AI) data platform Kite AI.

According to the announcement, Kite AI aims to make AI data and models more accessible. The project aims to dismantle data silos by fostering a more open ecosystem where developers, data providers and users can collaborate transparently with clear data ownership.

Vast amounts of valuable and non-public data remain beyond the reach of most developers in the current AI landscape. This kind of data is currently stored on the servers of centralized institutions where most developers looking for AI training data have a hard time accessing it.

This results in an unfair advantage for the bigger players in the AI and tech spaces, who can arrange for access to those data silos — resulting in limited innovation and competition. Kite AI aims to change this situation by changing how AI training data is stored and distributed.

Kite AI attempts to broaden participation in the AI data market by ensuring that data contributors are fairly compensated and that data is accessible to all developers. Access to the data is decentralized with transparent ownership tracking and allows contributors to hold control over their data while receiving payments for its use.

The platform also promises to support collaboration between Web2 and Web3 platforms through scalable and privacy-protected data management. Kite AI also launched a Builder Preview showcasing its features, allowing developers to access training data through its interface.

Data payments directly go into the pockets of data providers, who are also compensated for their data's impact on model performance. Kite AI’s “Save the Llama” project also invites participants to help train a language model with a sense of humor — all contributions are tracked and rewarded.

Kite AI is the brainchild of the developers behind ZettaBlock, a unified platform for open and trustless AI development that hosts an ecosystem of AI models.
