NEAR Protocol, a decentralized blockchain platform, has launched an initiative to incubate and invest in native AI infrastructure. The platform aims to be the home of user-owned AI and machine learning, providing a collaborative alternative to the centralized and closed industry that controls most of Web2’s data and information. The NEAR Foundation will provide investment and incubation services for AI-related research and applications, with the goal of bringing the user-owned AI movement to a global scale.
