The deAI Institute
Research and Development on decentralized AI for the Open Data Economy.
The deAI Institute is building performant, distributed, and private AI that is owned by its users
Independent businesses and users should be empowered to own their data and models, while being able to access to cutting edge AI technology and Open Data standards.
Our Mission
We enable applications of decentralized AI for mainstream use cases.
Distributed & Open Source
Protect sensitive information with blockchain technology. Verify computation and data integrity without relying on centralized gatekeepers.
Easy-to-use Interfaces
deAI interfaces as easy to use as your favorite phone applications. No complex setup required for end-users.
Compliant-by-Design
Our deAI stack is bringing compute to data instead of data to compute, enabling industry-grade AI applications while increasing efficency, latency and reliability in the process.
