Sahara Founders Interviewed by Coindesk’s Sam Kessler

During an exchange with Sam Kressler from Coindesk, our co-founders, Sean Ren and Tyler Zhou introduced the groundbreaking Sahara network, an ecosystem where individuals and businesses could be compensated for their valuable data, knowledge, and AI expertise. This basic exchange is the fundamental mechanic at work in Sahara’s Collaborative Economy – a model where knowledge developers, knowledge providers, compute providers, execution node operators, validators, knowledge consumers, and many more to come are directly rewarded for their contributions. This represents a significant departure from the standard Web 2.0 model, which relies on providing free services in exchange for unfettered access to personal data.

Coindesk is the preeminent blockchain publication, so naturally, they were curious about how Sahara would use web3 technology. Sean and Tyler discussed how the AI network would use blockchain technology to keep consumer data secure and private while allowing transparent tracking of data contributions and rewards. Also of interest was our forthcoming product, Sahara Knowledge Agents, which will provide customers (first businesses and later individuals) with personalized AI that can autonomously operate in the world.
