We've all heard about AI, but not everyone understands how its development takes place and how really each of us can participate in it. In this sense, draws attention to the company DBrain, which seems to be available and interesting answers to all practical questions.

According to the online data, Dbrain aims to link the crowd workforce in low-income countries with AI developers and businesses. In more detail, this material is presented in DBrain Whitepaper, which we actually refer to within the framework of this article.

First of all, the authors pay attention to the problems in the recruitment of data used to teach artificial intelligence. They are still marked manually, which requires a lot of effort and creates a lot of friction: the quality of the labeling is not guaranteed, and the original raw data is not protected. Solving this problem Dbrain allows participants to work remotely, together and integrated, implementing the processes of buying, designing and creating AI applications.

Dbrain — positions itself as an open block platform that links information collectors and scientists in the search and processing of data, allowing them to convert raw data into real AI solutions. Freelancers (Crowdworkers) perform simple tasks on marking and checking data and instantly receive a cryptocurrency for their work. Scientists continue this work and use the received data sets to train Neural Networks (NN) and create AI applications on this basis. Interested industrial enterprises use existing solutions for Artificial Intelligence or create new requests to meet their specific needs.

In general, the idea is as follows: Dbrain automates the production of AI and the workflow for collecting, processing and using data, providing effective tools for all parties, including the web application, the Telegram bot, and the mobile application.

It’s all clear, but what role can Blockchain play in this? It turns out, using a chain of blocks, we can confidently manage high-quality data labeling, solving security problems, observing intellectual property rights and international micropayments for remotely operating personnel. And the authors convince us that the use of the existing commercial computing infrastructure already allows us to create an affordable scalable toolkit for the development and deployment of AI applications.

Anyone who has an affordable smart device can join Dbrain and participate in the Industry 4.0 revolution. This platform links the growing demand for manual processing of AI data with an abundance of the unused workforce on a global scale. As a result, we receive 2 billion people in low-wage countries, offering earnings in the crypto-currency for marking and checking data. By integrating this global workforce into its platform, Dbrain provides a decentralized and unified infrastructure for the capacity utilization of enterprises by accessing high-quality AI products.

I hope the success of the project is inspired by the history of the Dbrain team, which consists of industry-known professionals and has already launched several AI products that are planned to expand and improve on the new Blockchain platform. Among the most famous developments of Icon8, high-quality chatbot as a tool for e-commerce, as well as the Connectome solution for recognition of activity and control of industrial quality.

The Chat-bot Icon8 AI, was №1 on Telegram, №3 around the world on Facebook, and ranked 1st in 2016 by VentureBeat. Bot applies artistic style to any presented image and gives a result almost immediately. Bot received a grant personally from Telegram CEO Pavel Durov, and VentureBeat included Dmitry Matskevich (DBrain Chief Executive Officer) in the list of 100 most promising developers.
Connectome has developed solutions for visual control of the quality of goods on conveyor lines, as well as the analysis of personnel actions using video surveillance. These solutions are already in use and reduce the human factor in production, increase profits, reduce the time spent by personnel on non-productive activities.

To finish this review, I would like to say about the benefits of the synergy between AI and Blockchain explained by DBrain CEO Dmitry Matskevich: “It could lead to more efficiency and greater openness with lower costs”. That is how it looks like in short infographic video.
