NOTE: This isn't my content, I'm just sharing because I think SingularityNET is one of the ​most important resources in the AI field! These are the folks behind Sophia, the robot. Her YouTube videos are GREAT!! Enjoy!

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is already a critical component of today’s global infrastructure. Millions of businesses depend heavily on AI, from finance and robotics to big data and logistics.
But AI remains expensive to develop and nearly impossible to coordinate. By connecting the global supply of AI tech through a decentralized network, SingularityNET is unleashing the power of AI to more companies, organizations, and individuals than ever before.

The Blockchain Industry Will Rely on SingularityNET

At SingularityNET, we’ve received an overwhelming amount of requests to integrate our services with many of the largest and most reputable blockchain projects. As our network grows throughout 2018, we’ll be partnering with select projects to meet their needs in a dedicated manner.

Today, we’re proud to announce our partnership with FundRequest, a decentralized marketplace built for open source collaboration. With FundRequest, businesses and developers can upload their requests to a marketplace and attach a monetary incentive. Their community can then provide the requested services. The FundRequest platform creates a simple, secure way to reward bug fixes and build features on any project.

While we’re in talks with dozens of blockchain projects, we believe that partnering with FundRequest offers a unique opportunity to pilot SingularityNET’s capabilities. For example, FundRequest will be using SingularityNET to augment their ability to:

Enable bounty discovery via search

Use algorithms to police the Reputation System

Create a help-bot for onboarding and customer service

Manage the dispute flow whenever there is a conflict between funder and solver

Many blockchain projects like FundRequest are proven early-adopters, looking to build their platform’s using first principles thinking. We’re receiving a large amount of demand from the blockchain industry, with numerous projects requesting that we integrate our network’s to provide them with first-mover advantages in AI.

We’ll be vetting this demand and selecting high-value projects to partner closely with. We have the highest respect for the FundRequest team, and we’re excited to work with them to integrate SingularityNET’s services. Adding to SingularityNET’s Internal Capabilities

We also selected FundRequest as a formal partner because their services have the potential to accelerate SingularityNET’s development and functionality.

Our network is entirely open-source, and using FundRequest’s platform, we’ll be able to coordinate our large community of AI-developers. Our team will be exploring the use of FundRequest to fund bounties and development initiatives for that purpose.
