Additional Info
FLock.io aims to build a decentralised privacy-preserving solution for Artificial Intelligence. We proposed a research initiative called Federated Learning Blocks (in short, FLocks), which uses blockchain as a coordination platform among data holders to conduct Machine Learning while data stays local and private. By replacing the central entity that collects data and organises machine learning with blockchain, FLocks aims to empower users to mine insights from their data and monetise at their discretion.
