Fed Up With AI Mistakes? Blockchain Startup Follows 'Wikipedia Model' to Make It Better

CEN says this centralization has the danger of monopolizing AI - leaving most of us out of the loop.

CEN says many of these platforms rely on the automated scraping of websites, or manual entries by in-house teams - and it's safe to say the latter is a daunting task given the vast amounts of human knowledge out there.

Acknowledging these issues, CEN says it has found the solution: using the power of community to teach AIs.

CEN is developing a project that uses blockchain technology to monitor the work of editors - who are known on the platform as "Minders." Knowledge contributed to the platform is tagged to the person who delivered it, meaning they can provide updates over time or be contacted for advice in the future.

CEN aims to monetize its service through an "Intelligence" marketplace and is recruiting minders to curate the knowledge available through its platform.

CEN wants its AI infrastructure to benefit the business community - whether this is in the form of a talking head greeting customers to a company's website, handling sales inquiries, or troubleshooting problems, or even directing calls as a digital receptionist does.

One of CEN's targets for offering help will be advice for small businesses.

The company told Cointelegraph; "It's a complex area which is where we are targeting CEN, but it doesn't have the regulatory issues you might encounter with medical and legal advice."

CEN has created several demonstration systems which illustrate the power of a hybrid between AI and human intelligence and they hope to launch the network in the spring of 2019.

CEN Inc is currently running a crowdsale on StartEngine.com.
