AIWORK

AIWORK is a decentralized, open-source blockchain protocol and ecosystem built on a consensus network of Artificial Intelligence (AI) computing resources and a community of human experts, used to generate normalized and enhanced metadata for video content. Developers can build Decentralized Applications (DApps) on top of the AIWORK protocol. Platform participants can either run AI nodes or provide expertise and be rewarded with AIWORK Tokens. AI Computer Vision algorithms running on nodes using CPU/GPU resources will be used to scan media files, generate enhanced metadata including time-coded tags, classification, categories, transcripts and translations, and an index of the video objects.

Humans with expertise in tagging, editing and translation can participate in the AIWORK shared economy to help with the verification, validation and/or creation of video metadata. AI Machine Learning algorithms will continually learn from the actions of the AIWORK community to become better and smarter. AIWORK will empower the community with tools to enable the community to moderate, review, verify the meta-tags, categorize, transcribe and/or translate content, as well as provide economic incentives to encourage this activity thru AIWORK Tokens

A key feature of this project is our trademark content safety index known as a ContentGraph. The AIWORK platform will use AI to define a confidence score for each of several content safety attributes, such as: nudity, adult, offensive language, hate speech, violence, guns, alcohol, religion etc. Similar to MPAA ratings for movies but more granular and covering online video content, these scores will then be combined into an array of numbers called a ContentGraph, which will enable programmatic determination of content suitability based on a numeric filter criteria.

The content safety attributes are extensible and new attributes such as ‘gender bias can be added at any time the AI has capability to recognize such content. The challenge for AIWORK is to decentralize operation of the AI and human expert community on top of a consensus protocol, so that all sorts of Decentralized Applications (DApps), whether free or commercial, can reap the benefits of the AIWORK protocol with much better metadata and ContentGraph. One of the first DApps to be built on top of the AIWORK protocol will be an Open Video Search Engine that will offer a transparent and ubiquitous index and search engine for online video curated and maintained by the community.

AIWORK will open this blockchain protocol and ecosystem for use by third-parties, including content distributors, publishers and advertisers. This will help AIWORK achieve broad adoption and network effects benefiting all participants. The blockchain implementation will achieve this with smart contracts between the content owners, advertisers, distributors and service providers. The smart contracts will maximize utilization by enabling dispatch of jobs to the most productive service providers and grant incentives to promote better quality.
