According to data provided by Statista and Grand View Research, the global AI market was valued at $2420 million in 2017. The market is expected to reach $58,975.4 million, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 57.2% from 2017 to 2025. [https://www.statista.com/statistics/607716/worldwide-artificial-intelligence-market-revenues/], [https://www.grandviewresearch.com/industry-analysis/artificial-intelligence-ai-market]
Comment: The project is entering the AI market, which is showing high growth rates. This makes it possible for the project to occupy a niche.
Graph Grail is a platform designed for trading AI apps, running smart contracts, and neural network development and training.
Startcrowd is a platform that enables users to find developers for their AI apps or offer their services to the market.
SingularityNET is a protocol developed to enable AI data exchange and process coordination and automation, as well as the trading and exchanging of AI apps.
Conclusion: The pivotal feature that makes AI Crypto different is that users can access GPUs provided directly in the ecosystem.
The platform will be developed on the basis of blockchain technology.
The architecture of the AI Сrypto ecosystem will include three elements:
AI Crypto Vessels for user data collection
AI Crypto Skeleton for cloud storage of user data received from AI Crypto Vessels
AI Crypto Organism
All data provided by users will be encrypted so that it cannot be used outside the network.
Technical Description
The ecosystem’s components are designed to perform the following functions:
- AI Crypto Vessels. Participants provide GPU hardware, data and models. They receive tokens as a reward for their services. When other ecosystem members make use of these resources, providers receive an additional reward in the AI Crypto Skeleton, following the Proof of Value (PoV) principle.
- The AI Crypto Skeleton incorporates several modules:
Resource Allocator. This module distributes the provided GPU resources among network participants.
Contribution Rating System. This system ensures smart contract-based distribution of fees collected for resources among users.
Block Generator. This module will generate blocks for recording of transactions. Each generated block will be verified by the others.
Coin Payroll System. This system also distributes the profit gained by the AI Crypto Organism.
Comment: The project employs current technologies that have proven effective.
Technology Roadmap
The team are planning to further develop the technologies, collect required data and subsequently implement the following solutions:
December 2018: AI Crypto API/SDK release
March 2019: AI Crypto Ecosystem API/SDK release
April 2019: AI Crypto Ecosystem beta release
June 2019: AI Crypto Ecosystem official launch
Comment: The team have provided the information on stages for project progress. However, the platform’s development may take a considerable amount of time, which could have a negative effect on investors’ attitudes to the project. According to the team, the smart contract will be implemented on the website soon.
- AI Crypto Organism. This module is designed to improve the AI Crypto ecosystem. The team plan to create an AI Crypto Society that will unite machine learning scientists and experts, as well as startup workers in related fields. Society members will be able to contribute to AI development and take part in building models for participants in the ecosystem.
