hey guys I'm Ben from Authentech and today we're checking out and open a
blockchain a platform to collectively build AI apps now what does all that
mean well artificial intelligence or AI is the future right we've seen it in
robots self-driving cars and so much more well it needs the help of us humans
to keep getting better and smarter and this is where D brain comes in now huge
thanks to those guys for sponsoring this video
they're crowdsourcing a workforce to turn raw data into real-world AI
solutions for a wide variety of businesses and participants they've
secured two and a half million dollars in seed funding and they've been
featured on TechCrunch Inc and venture beat these guys at D brain were the ones
who also created that famous icon eight BOTS turning those selfies into artistic
pieces of art now there's two sides to this platform that crowd workers and the
businesses let's start with the crowd the basic idea is you or me or anyone
can sign up on their platform and help with some simple data labeling test then
you earn cryptocurrency so here's some examples of the data labeling test that
I got at first it showed me different animals and photos and with a mouse or
keyboard I'd tell it which animal was seen in the photo cat dog Fox duck or
other it's nice fast and easy to fly through these then the next stage of
tests were basic labeling of objects in an image at first it was fruits I'd
select the kind of fruit I saw then use a lasso tool and outline that fruit
pears apples and oranges the last set of images were of rooms with different
furniture and tables chairs and same as before select the kind of object and
then draw a box around it these took a little bit more time but still fun easy
and simple at the completion of each task you can watch your count balance
rise up which of course adds to the enjoyment you're earning money here the
reward that you earn over time is a cryptocurrency called d-brane coin or
DVR which they say users will be able to withdraw their earnings at any time as
of the making of this video DPR is currently in private sale meaning it's
being offered at discount to industry partners once the token sale is complete
you'll be able to withdraw your DVR details on the private
can be found in all the links down below but some interesting numbers I found the
closed hard cap is equal to around 20 million USD participants can get up to
20% discount and d-brane coins are distributed at $2 each the idea behind
all this is pretty sweet from a user's perspective and here's another somewhat
similar comparison I found for example I've been part of Google opinion rewards
for years they're just these simple short little surveys that Google sends
out in their app I answer a couple quick questions and bam I earn 10 cents or 70
cents in Google Play credit it's little bits here and there but they add up over
time it's the same idea here with d-brane simple easy tasks that help
train AI and then in return for crypto rewards very cool they have mobile apps
coming in the future so I could see people all around the globe opening up
the app whenever they have spare time completing some simple tasks and then
earning rewards and interesting point here as they say there's close to two
billion Internet users around the globe at the same time around 2 billion people
who have no access to a banking system and since cross-border payments via
banks are expensive and slow cryptocurrencies could solve this
problem by reaching any person connected to the Internet so thus the supply of
these online crowd workers is globally abundant lastly if we turn the tables
and look at it from a business perspective AI datasets and computing
powers are expensive and mostly left in the hands of the big guys like Facebook
and Google for example are hiring workers to Train AI algorithms the
smaller guys don't have access to those AI powers however bringing crowdsourcing
in this way a much smaller company could turn to the scalable infrastructure of D
brain and have them help with an AI training tasks like image recognition
video surveillance or medical data processing you name it and they could
offer a custom solution for any clients needs overall it's a very clever and
genius model and I'm intrigued to see how and where they go in the future near
and far now if you want to sign up or learn more info all the links will be
down below again huge thanks to D brain for sponsoring this video and thank you
guys for watching and next time let's live authentic
