The OORT Foundation announced the commercial launch of its OORT DataHub, a decentralized platform designed to improve data collection and labeling for artificial intelligence.
The platform, which goes live on Dec. 11, aims to address longstanding challenges in AI development, including data transparency and integrity.
OORT DataHub promises to reduce costs and enhance security for businesses and researchers who rely on large-scale data for AI training by leveraging blockchain technology.
The launch marks a significant step for Oortech, which previously introduced its Edge Device, a decentralized storage node. Together, these products form the backbone of the OORT ecosystem, which aims to advance blockchain-enabled AI solutions.
OORT co-founder and CEO Max Li said:
“Trusted, traceable data is the next bottleneck in AI competition, and OORT DataHub is positioned to solve it.”
Building a Decentralized Future for AI
The OORT DataHub eliminates intermediaries in data collection, offering a more secure and participant-controlled process.
By enabling global contributions, the platform creates diverse and representative datasets essential for training AI and machine learning models. The integration of blockchain technology enhances data integrity, minimizes manipulation risks, and promotes ethical AI development.
According to Oortech, the platform’s features reflect a commitment to fostering transparency and privacy in a field often criticized for its opaque practices.
The firm plans to expand its ecosystem further with the introduction of the OORT DataHub Mini App. The app, set to launch on Telegram’s platform, will make it easier for users to contribute data and participate in decentralized data collection.
The Mini App aims to tap into Telegram’s global user base, driving adoption and collaboration while reinforcing the OORT ecosystem’s accessibility and user-friendly design.
Ethical AI development
The OORT DataHub illustrates a broader vision for ethical AI, emphasizing decentralized solutions that reduce costs, enhance security, and ensure fairness in data-driven innovation.
Industry analysts note that OORT DataHub’s decentralized model could shift the dynamics of AI development by addressing some of its most pressing challenges. The platform’s focus on privacy, security, and global accessibility aligns with growing calls for more ethical approaches to AI.
As Oortech looks to scale its operations, the company is inviting businesses and individuals to explore its platform and contribute to its mission of reshaping AI development.
