Fraction AI, founded in February, is a crypto artificial intelligence startup aimed at decentralizing data labeling. Data labeling involves using meaningful tags to annotate raw data (such as images, text, or audio) to train AI models to recognize patterns and make accurate predictions. Fraction AI adopts a hybrid data labeling approach that combines human insights with AI agents. The platform will have three main participants: stakeholders, builders, and judges.
