Empowering innovation by connecting a global network of 35,000 AI/ML experts with SingularityNET’s multi-million dollar OpenCog Hyperon AGI R&D grants and sponsored data science competitions.

SingularityNET, a founding member of the Artificial Superintelligence (ASI) Alliance and a pioneer in decentralized AI, today announced a landmark partnership with Bitgrit. This collaboration bridges SingularityNET’s cutting-edge decentralized AI platform with Bitgrit’s active data science community of over 35,000 AI/ML engineers and data scientists. By directly integrating Bitgrit’s extensive crowd-sourced talent pool into the SingularityNET ecosystem, this partnership is set to resource the necessary breakthrough solutions in real-world AI applications while opening new avenues for decentralized beneficial AGI development.

Strategic Rationale

Integrating Bitgrit’s vast global network with SingularityNET’s funding initiatives via Deepfunding.ai will provide new opportunities for both developers and enterprises to engage with each other at scale, whilst also pushing OpenCog Hyperon development further. This strategic alignment is designed to:

• Tap into Bitgrit’s community, SingularityNET can access specialized skills to address complex challenges across corporate, enterprise, and government sectors. Bitgrit’s community is proficient in Data Science, Data Analytics, Machine Learning, Deep Learning and Computer Vision.
• Fuel an open, competitive environment where AI engineers can propose tailor-made solutions to complex business and AI/ML problems, looking forward this will resource the acceleration of OpenCog Hyperon’s AGI research and experimentation.
• Bitgrit’s platform and community integration into the Deepfunding.ai Requests for Proposals (RFP) and regular funds will enhance participation in solutioning decentralized challenges, whilst equally laying the groundwork for novel product streams with the goal of expanding available service offerings on SingularityNET’s platform and ASI Innovation Stack.

Accelerating AI Innovation

At the heart of this collaboration is the vision to revolutionize how AI challenges are addressed and solved. Bitgrit’s competitive challenge model, combined with SingularityNET’s robust decentralized infrastructure, will enable:

• Bitgrit’s community of AI/ML experts will have direct access to SingularityNET’s corporate, enterprise, and government AI challenges.
• The addition of standout Bitgrit AI services including the Generative AI Fake Image Detection API and X Virality Prediction API, to the SingularityNET platform, enabling developers to integrate robust AI solutions into their operations seamlessly.
• Grant and funding initiatives on the Deepfunding.ai platform with over $1,250,000 already deployed to incentivize groundbreaking solutions within the SingularityNET developer community. It’s expected this funding model will continue to drive further the necessary innovation across the decentralized AI and beneficial AGI research and development.

Through these measures, the collaboration promises not only to accelerate the development of the OpenCog Hyperon AGI framework but also to democratize access to advanced AI capabilities, laying the groundwork for the global SingularityNET ecosystem where creativity, accountability, and transparency are the norm, expected and rewarded.

Empowering Innovation Through Collaboration

By uniting Bitgrit’s expansive network with SingularityNET’s decentralized AI vision, the partnership creates an ecosystem where ideas transform into tangible, real-world AI solutions. With an emphasis on privacy-preserving technologies and rigorous data security protocols, the partnership ensures that innovation proceeds in a trusted environment, where both human and machine intelligences can thrive together.

Dr. Ben Goertzel, CEO of SingularityNET and CEO of ASI, highlighted the transformative potential of the collaboration:

“The union of SingularityNET’s decentralized AGI vision with Bitgrit’s unparalleled access to top AI talent comes at a pivotal moment. By seamlessly integrating Bitgrit’s extensive network of engineers with our AI marketplace, we are enabling businesses and developers to collaborate in ways that were previously impossible. This will drive forward AI innovation and unlock new frontiers in artificial intelligence.”

Kazuya Saginawa, CEO of Bitgrit, underscored the significance of the partnership:

“Bitgrit’s partnership with SingularityNET is another bold step toward our shared vision of Artificial General Intelligence. By bringing together our extensive community of AI developers with SNET’s decentralized infrastructure, we are creating an ecosystem where AI solutions are more accessible and impactful than ever before.”

Paving the Way for a Decentralized AI Future

While still in its early stages, this strategic collaboration is poised to reshape the AI landscape. By uniting decentralized innovation with a dynamic global talent pool, SingularityNET and Bitgrit are setting the stage for a new era of beneficial AGI where complex challenges are met with bespoke, cutting-edge solutions and a commitment to transparency, security, and collaborative progress, whilst fairly rewarding meaningful contributions.
