Blockchain + Machine Learning: Democratizing Data Access

Too Long; Didn't Read

<a href="https://hackernoon.com/tagged/machine-learning" target="_blank">Machine learning</a> is the most recent area in which large companies, and even governments, have been competing. Having access to superior models over those of your competitors can provide great competitive advantages when using these models as either services or as back-end components to various applications. For example, with something like image recognition services, the market is effectively won by the company with the best performance. These models require little to no person-to-person contact to use, and are simple to hook into programmatically, so it would seem that there is little need for loyalty if a competitor’s product were more effective. Therefore, since performance is the key indicator of success in this arena, is it in the best interest of these entities to ensure that their competitors cannot match their performance.
