ZettaBlock, a unified platform for open and secure AI development, announced the launch of Kite AI, the decentralized blockchain foundation layer pioneering equitable, democratized, and secure access to essential AI Assets- data, models, and agents. Built on ZettaBlock’s proven infrastructure, Kite AI serves as the foundational layer of a decentralized AI economy, enabling coordination of a global network of contributors—from developers to enterprises—to build, share, and be fairly rewarded for high-quality AI asset contributions while maintaining ownership, privacy, and control.
Today, vast amounts of AI data remain siloed creating a bottleneck in the growth of the AI ecosystem. This is because users are hesitant to share data with AI models without proper attribution, fair recognition, or the assurance that sensitive and proprietary information won’t be misused. Kite AI addresses this by enabling secure, transparent data sharing and model development with an innovative attribution mechanism while safeguarding proprietary information.
Most decentralized AI projects focus narrowly on providing decentralized compute solutions, but that problem is short-lived with more and more GPU becoming available everyday via both centralized and decentralized entities. Kite AI tackles a larger, systemic challenge impacting the growth of the entire AI economy: unlocking essential AI data, models, and agents for widespread, fair use in a democratized way. This approach empowers businesses and developers with full control over AI assets usage, ensuring fair rewards based on the assets’ impact and utilization. Kite AI democratizes AI development, enabling participation from entities of all sizes, leveling a playing field that was once dominated by a few.
“Our vision with Kite AI is to unlock AI’s full potential by dismantling existing barriers and establishing a fair, open ecosystem for collaboration,” said Chi Zhang, Co-founder of ZettaBlock. “By providing a foundation for open and democratized access to high-quality AI data, models, and agents, Kite AI empowers seamless participation and innovation without centralized restrictions, data scarcity, or privacy concerns. We are enabling organizations and developers of all sizes to contribute to and benefit from AI advancements, with guaranteed fair rewards and transparency across the ecosystem.”
Powered by ZettaBlock’s decentralized infrastructure, the Kite AI foundation layer enables advanced attribution for data and models, privacy-preserving development, and secure access to all AI assets to foster a fair and collaborative AI ecosystem. With its Decentralized Data Access Engine, Kite AI allows contributors to securely share and be fairly incentivized for data, while Smart Data Indexing seamlessly organizes multi-modal data for diverse AI applications. Additionally, Kite AI enables a decentralized, lightweight, and privacy-focused AI experience through its virtual database, allowing data to be stored and processed locally, empowering models for personalized AI experiences.
“Kite AI’s approach to decentralized, secure AI infrastructure is paving the way for a more equitable and collaborative AI landscape,” said Professor Haiyan Huang, Professor and Chair, Dept. of Statistics, UC Berkeley. “By providing transparent access and fair attribution for data and model contributions, Kite AI empowers researchers, developers, and businesses alike. This type of innovation is critical for the sustainable and inclusive growth of AI, where everyone can participate in and benefit from the AI economy.”
At DevCon, ZettaBlock is showcasing “Save the Llama,” where participants contribute data to train a live language model, demonstrating Kite AI’s data attribution and reward system in action. For more information about Kite AI, click here.
