EPISODE DESCRIPTION
Where does AI’s knowledge come from, and who gets rewarded for it? Trillion-dollar models are being built, but the contribution and compensation of everyday data providers are not yet clearly recognized. As we learned the world through the internet, the next generation will learn it through AI. This makes it even more important to ensure that the data shaping these systems is properly attributed and fairly compensated. OpenLedger is building a blockchain protocol to track AI training data and ensure fair rewards. Co-founder Ram Kumar believes it’s time to talk seriously about data sovereignty and how it could reshape the AI ecosystem. EO stands for Entrepreneur& Opportunities. As we're looking to feature more inspiring stories of entrepreneurs all over the world, don't hesitate to contact us at partner@eoeoeo.net LinkedIn | @EO STUDIO X | @eostudi0
