OORT Vision: Enabling Trustworthy AI for Humanity

Since 2023, artificial intelligence technologies and products such as ChatGPT, Google's Gemini, and OpenAI's SORA have begun to profoundly impact our daily lives. Despite their significant influence, public understanding of these technologies in terms of data collection, usage, and potential biases remains relatively limited.

Given that artificial intelligence primarily learns through analyzing data from specific groups, this process may inadvertently introduce biases, making it crucial to use diverse data during the development stage to ensure the fairness and inclusivity of the technology.

As artificial intelligence becomes increasingly integrated into our lives, trust in these technologies becomes particularly important. This trust, like interpersonal relationships, requires time, understanding, and interaction to cultivate. By interacting with AI, understanding its operation, and ensuring that its operation is based on fair and accurate data, we can have deeper trust in its capabilities. Taking an approach that emphasizes transparency and diversity of contributions is essential for creating reliable AI systems that benefit everyone.

As we continue to explore these technological advancements, OORT's goal is very clear: to build a trust-based ecosystem that enables humans and AI to progress and prosper together.

OORT's Mission

OORT is a distributed cloud designed for privacy and cost savings. By integrating global computing and storage resources, OORT empowers trustworthy AI solutions.

OORT is driving a new way of AI development that is open and transparent, covering every key aspect from data collection, preprocessing, model design, training, fine-tuning, to deployment. OORT encourages everyone to participate in these processes, aiming to break the traditional view of AI as a "black box" and deepen understanding of the AI creation process through mutual understanding and cooperation. Our goal is to make the AI development process more transparent and inclusive, building trust through active participation and contribution.

Centralized Artificial Intelligence (CeAI) Workflow

First, let's take a look at the current centralized artificial intelligence workflow. Companies like OpenAI and Google operate in a highly centralized manner, using their own data centers and executing opaque processes in their AI solutions. It is unclear to users how each stage of AI development is completed and what data is used for training and fine-tuning these models.

Decentralized Artificial Intelligence (DeAI) Workflow

In contrast, OORT redefines each stage using blockchain technology, as shown in the diagram below.

Data Collection

Users can easily contribute data using personal devices, such as laptops and smartphones, via the OORT platform, while receiving rewards.

Data Preprocessing

OORT computing performs data preprocessing on user devices, such as smartphones and PCs, ensuring data privacy. The processed data is uploaded to the distributed cloud, and the hash of the uploaded data is stored on the blockchain to ensure traceability and resistance to tampering.

Model Design

OORT allows and encourages community members and institutions to collaboratively design open-source AI models, enhancing innovation and accessibility.

Model Training and Fine-Tuning

Thanks to decentralized servers, OORT computing provides cost-effective model training and fine-tuning.

Model Deployment

AI models are deployed on personal devices, such as smartphones and PCs, enabling offline use and ensuring user data privacy. This allows users to access AI tools using their device resources anytime, anywhere.

OORT's approach to building a decentralized artificial intelligence ecosystem stands out for its transparency and reliability. Unlike isolated design systems, OORT is built on a community-driven process—created by everyone and serving everyone. This approach invites everyone to actively contribute to the advancement of AI, ensuring that it can be understood and shaped by different voices, not just observed.

OORT Products

OORT offers three flagship products:

OORT Storage

Integrated with global storage servers such as Seagate and Tencent Cloud, it provides a decentralized object storage solution comparable to Amazon AWS S3 performance, saving up to 60% in costs.

OORT Computing

By integrating user devices, including smartphones, tablets, and PCs, it provides AI data collection and preprocessing services, ensuring data privacy while significantly reducing costs. OORT Computing will be launched in 2024!

OORT AI

OORT AI provides comprehensive and trustworthy AI solutions for businesses and individuals, deployable on user devices.

In addition, OORT's distributed cloud infrastructure consists of two core components: OORT Edge and Olympus Protocol.

OORT Edge

OORT Edge is a customized edge node for AI data computing and storage. By purchasing the edge node device—Deimos, individuals can easily become contributing nodes to the OORT network.

Olympus Protocol

Olympus Protocol is OORT's self-developed open-source first-layer blockchain. Its technical details and performance theory can be referenced in the yellow paper (hyperlink: https://oort-website.standard.us-east-1.oortech.com/OORT_Yellow_Paper.pdf). Olympus connects devices worldwide that join the OORT network (public cloud, private cloud, smartphones, computers, etc.). Its patented Proof of Honesty (PoH) consensus algorithm (add link https://patents.google.com/patent/US10970180B2/en?oq=us10970180) ensures that all nodes honestly complete their requested tasks and optimizes the network's resource allocation in a distributed manner.

OORT's Position in the AI + DePin Field

In the competitive landscape of AI + DePin, OORT stands out from a unique perspective. Some projects focus on AI data, such as Filecoin; some focus on AI model training, such as Gensyn; and some focus on model algorithms, such as Bittensor.

Although OORT can provide AI data storage services similar to Filecoin and model training services similar to Gensyn, our advantage lies in our particular emphasis on the implementation and application of edge AI. By connecting devices with limited computing capabilities such as smartphones, tablets, and PCs to the network, OORT can transparently complete data collection, preprocessing, and model deployment while ensuring user privacy. This focus on edge AI builds a solid foundation for achieving trustworthy AI in the future.
