DataHarbour: Enabling Decentalized AI Data Marketplace using Blockchain

Artificial Intelligence revolutionizes digital applications through simulation of human intelligence in machines, driving unprecedented progress in technology and decision-making. By adeptly processing large volumes of data, AI systems excel in pattern recognition, learning from experience, and autonomously making decisions. However, the present AI ecosystem suffers from data inequity, with major corporations dominating the market while smaller businesses still struggling. Access to AI data is the privilege of tech giants. In this paper, we propose DataHarbour, a blockchain-based marketplace that addresses issues with AI data access. DataHarbour's decentralized platform seeks to democratize data access and promote cooperation. Built on blockchain– a disruptive emerging technology that buttresses decentralized systems, it leverages smart contracts, incorporates data verification, and a reputation system. This paper also delineates the design and operation of AI data market place and portrays the system’s ability to foster a more inclusive AI environment. DataHarbour aims to accelerate AI innovation and close the data divide by facilitating safe data interchange and fostering integrity.
