A Decentralized Data Marketplace It’s hard to imagine what the future will look like but we can look at the processes we have adopted over the last 10 years to get a picture of what it might hold. Artificial Intelligence and machine learning have become essential tools to make our day to day lives run a little smoother. The data we give to companies for free without even realising, helps to create a clear picture for machines to calculate a required output. From a simple purchase on Amazon, our data is collected into specific data sets and held as a preference for the next time you visit their page. Or for the next customer that purchases the item, the data collected from previous customers helps Amazon to recommend items which are usually bought along with it. We are moving into an age in which Artificial Intelligence and machine learning processes help to make our decisions for us. It’s fascinating to think how far AI and Machine learning can take our civilisation but there are two key flaws in the system today. If every piece of data created by Man or Machine was correlated into one place, for all intelligence to use, our processes would become even more efficient and allow our progress as a society to evolve faster. Also the data that is used to ultimately create profit, isn’t producing revenue for the creators of it. Synapse AI are creating a decentralized data marketplace where any type of data can be collected and used by anyone, human or machine. The creator of any data placed on the Synapse AI marketplace are rewarded in SYN, the Cryptocurrency used within the Synapse AI ecosystem. Synapse AI are essentially setting data free. Allowing it to be immediately accessible by all intelligence to allow us to create a productive and efficient future economy. Instead of major conglomerates holding data and using it for their own personal gain, the data is collected on an open network which is accessible for anyone. The system is categorized into a number of different parts. Agents, which can be human or machine can create and contribute to data pools within the system. Data pools is a single or correlated piece of data which can be given specific labels to by an agent. Data pools help to set a model, which is a characteristic or pattern of behaviour that can be picked up and understood by an agent. This in turn creates a service which is the output created through our process which can be offered and negotiated within the marketplace.

Jamie Cushenan Blockchain Developer Starting programming at a young age, Jamie has always been fascinated by data and technology, which led him into game development after college. Since then, Jamie has continue to learn and expand his insights into machine learning, cryptocurrency and blockchain technology. Jamie has a degree from Ulster University in Software Engineering. Gil Chávez Lead Designer A long-term illustrator and graphic designer, Gil prides himself on creating new and exciting designs each and every day. Gil has helped take Synapse’s brand towards the future in this quest. Elizabeth Dixon Security Researcher Advisors * Hugh Dubberly Stanford, Apple, Netscape As the former vice president of Netscape’s Web Design and Site Integration Department, and the recent Co-founder of his own eponymous design consulting firm, Dubberly — like his favorite Greek philosopher — is a professional shiner of light into the murk and ambiguity of life. “My central concern is to figure out how design can be employed to make complex ideas visible and understandable so that we can make better products”, he says. With impeccable design and digital pedigrees, Dubberly has been on the cusp of “what’s next” since the Internet’s early days. It’s worthwhile, then, to pay attention to his present thoughts on what’s next for the business of design — and the design of business. Howard Rheingold Author, Stanford, Institute for the Future As a critic, writer and teacher, Howard Rheingold’s specialties are on the cultural, social and political implications of modern communication media such as the Internet, mobile telephony and virtual communities. His book Tools for Thought tells of the history of those who created the personal computer. About that same time he first logged in to an influential early online community called The WELL. That experienced is explored in his seminal book The Virtual Community. Jackson Palmer Founder of Dogecoin As a product, growth and data geek at Adobe by day, and coder and technologist by night, Jackson Palmer may be best known as the creator and founder of well-known cryptocurrency Dogecoin (DOGE). Introduced initially as a “joke” in 2013 to pay homage of the Shiba Inu dog from an internet meme, Dogecoin quickly developed its own online community and reached a market cap of $60 million USD in January 2014.
