SiliconANGLE Media, a prominent force at the nexus of media, technology, and AI, supports the move by OpenDataLabs to empower users with control over their AI training data. OpenDataLabs, led by Chief Executive Officer Anna Kazlauskas, is at the forefront of a new model for data ownership. This model ensures that the people who build the data that powers these AI products can tangibly reap the rewards.
SiliconANGLE Media was founded by technologists and tech-industry insiders John Furrier and Dave Vellante. In doing so, they have created a powerful ecosystem of industry-leading digital media brands. These brands are SiliconANGLE, theCUBE Network, theCUBE Research, and CUBE365. The company’s impact reaches more than 15 million tech professionals.
TheCUBE, from the worldwide leader in tech and AI coverage, SiliconANGLE Media. SiliconANGLE Media operates CUBE SuperStudios, strategically located in key areas like Silicon Valley and the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). The company’s latest brand, TheCUBE AI, is dedicated to AI news and coverage.
OpenDataLabs, though an independent venture, shares qualities with SiliconANGLE Media’s mission to innovate and empower users. OpenDataLabs’ platform, Vana, encourages users to share their data to train AI models by rewarding them with $GPT tokens. Users serve as curators. The amount and quality of data uploaded directly determines the amount of tokens earned, making it so that user contribution is directly tied to compensation.
The ChatGPT Data Collective gives users the power not just to reflect on that data, but to decide how it’s used and valued — putting control and ownership back where it belongs: with the user. - Anna Kazlauskas
This collaborative effort between a state agency and a nonprofit organization embodies a developing trend toward decentralization and user empowerment in the AI landscape. By giving users control over their data and compensating them for its use, OpenDataLabs is fostering a more equitable and transparent AI ecosystem.
