“It’s better to be a lion for a day than a sheep all your life.”
— Elizabeth Kenny
While the crypto market is plummeting and research and analysis are going on and on, to make the economy better than the existing one and so the blockchain technology is getting more talked about. Every now and then, innovation of these technologies and implementations are taking place and people are looking for adopting them for the best way possible and amidst all of the things, the term ‘decentralization’ has caught attention a lot but the existing economy which emphasizes decentralization .
The major pain points in the path to utilization of AI tech include:
Lack of enough experts
The demand for applied AI experts, data scientists, machine learningand deep learning developers is growing every day. Today thesespecialists are rare and expensive. But in spite of it all, highlycompetitive nature of business requires highly skilled personnel tofind efficient solutions in the shortest time. The scarcity and costs ofthese resources are a big problem for organizations using, or wantingto use, AI technologies.
Complexity in integration and adaptation
Despite the AI industry development, in pursuit of ready-made AIsolutions applicable for solving real business problems, and in otherareas, their integration and adaptation are still a complex question.
High demand of computing power, and eventually, costs
Data science and machine learning tasks are usually resourceintensive ones and can be efficiently solved using a large number ofCPU and/or GPUs. Using cloud services such as Google Cloud, AmazonAWS, Microsoft Azure can solve that problem, though with anunreasonably high price.
Security issues
AI tech is increasingly being integrated into high-tech consumerproducts. This can potentially affect our life and safety in ways wecannot even begin to imagine. Without independent automated dataintegrity check and version control, it is not possible to guaranteereplicability that is crucial in applied machine learning algorithmswith high security requirements.
" Mindsync " is a decentralized, community-driven AI platform where everyone can participate in the growing artificial intelligence market as a customer, expert, developer or supplier to order or create and share AI services as value.
Proposed solution
To address these issues, MindSync is creating a unified platform to:
Establish an active community of experts in the field of AItechnologies like machine learning (ML), computer vision (CV), deeplearning (DL), natural language processing (NLP) and data science(DS). This community will be a source of contact for customers of allsizes to access state-of-the-art AI-based solutions for their businessesand will develop AI solutions, share experience, and improvecompetence on the MindSync platform.
Creating the marketplace for ready AI solutions (ML-models anddatasets). Placing production-ready solutions on the marketplace inenterprise-ready containers. Solutions may be paid or free. This willallow developers of high-quality and popular solutions to use theMindSync platform as a source of steady income or to contribute tothe community and help other participants build new solutions basedon them as well as improve their own skills.
Exploitation of crypto mining farms and exchange of computingpower among some participants of the community. This significantlyreduces computation cost by threefold in comparison with cloudcomputing. MindSync will use its own computing resources,supercomputer projects such as SONM, and cloud services to diversifydenial-of-service risks and provide maximum quality of their services.
Deployment of a blockchain assures security and data integrity.Persistence of ML-models hashes, data, solution quality assessments,solution ratings, and the platform participant metadata are all saved inthe embedded blockchain. It allows to verify objects and theirdependencies that is crucially important in development of replicableand safe solutions.
Our vision and mission
MindSync is an AIaaS (AI-as-a-Service) and ExaaS (Expert-as-a-Service) platform. We seek to help solve business problems ofcustomers through AI-based solutions that are created throughrewarding competitions within the community or through choosingfrom a wide range of production-ready solutions in our repository.
We are on a mission to provide better and cheaper AI solutions for awide range of businesses through a readily available community ofexperts. While customers will be spoilt for choice at the availabletalent on the platform, the community members also get a platform toearn rewards, exchange experience and interact with like-mindedindividuals for personal and professional growth.
