Ringfence AI, the first generative AI platform to ensure creators are paid for the use of their original work within AI-generated content (AIGC), has announced the launch of its foundation, The Ringfence Foundation. The Ringfence Foundation has a mission to build and support the technologies needed to advance digital provenance and decentralized artificial intelligence, at scale. The Ringfence Foundation will focus on a few key aspects of the Ringfence ecosystem: Ringfence AIâs neural network, decentralized data nodes, and digital provenance technologies.
Ringfence AI represents Ringfenceâs core platform, equipping builders with the tools to protect, monetize and license their intellectual property and collaborate with AI. Ringfence Nodes introduce the first mechanisms to bring active participation to the Ringfence platform. Node operators will have the unique ability to take part in the worldâs first community-trained neural network built with 100% user-authorized data, helping advance data provenance and decentralized AI.
Ringfence AI CEO and Foundation Executive Director, Whitney Gibbs, explains, âThe Ringfence Foundation will be the integral piece connecting builders, decentralized initiatives, and the Ringfence AI platform in a shared effort to shape the future of decentralized AI. The Ringfence AI platform and node sale will showcase how effective decentralization can be in AI, with incentives that match our core pillars of empowerment, decentralization, trust, and transparency. We are excited to share and prove our vision with the world.âÂ
The Ringfence Ecosystem
The Ringfence ecosystem includes projects built on Ringfence Protocol and third-party partners with similar missions. Currently, these partners include respected companies such as Leonardo AI, Ta-da, Arweave, and Layer-Zero Labs.
Through Ringfenceâs Decentralized Data Node & Physical Infrastructure Networks, and aligning incentives between data owners and the AI platform, the Ringfence Foundation is working towards a more equitable and decentralized AI network that empowers users and gives back fairly to those who lend their data to train that network.
The Ringfence Foundation knows that achieving truly decentralized AI requires many participants and builders. Soon, they will open their Grants and Funding programs to support founders building novel solutions focused on advancing decentralized artificial intelligence.Â
Countless images, songs and stories have been scraped from the web to train Generative AI tools without consent or compensation for their creators. Ringfence, a pioneering creator platform, is built to change this, bridging AI and Web3 to equip creators with the infrastructure to flourish in the age of AI. Through rNFTs and Data Nodes, creators can protect their work from unauthorized use, license it to others on the platform, generate derivative works, or authorize it to train RingfenceAI, trained only on authorized content. Ringfence is designed so that creators set their own terms for monetization and the usage of their work.
The Ringfence Foundationâs mission is to build and support the technologies needed to advance digital provenance and decentralized artificial intelligence, at scale. The Ringfence Foundation will be dedicated to projects building on the Ringfence Protocol and third-party partners. Through their Decentralized Data Node & Physical Infrastructure Networks, and aligning incentives between data owners and the AI platform, the Ringfence Foundation is working towards a more equitable and decentralized AI network that empowers users and gives back fairly to those who lend their data to train that network.
