Information about the project
Cultural Data Marketplace
At IVOW, we are developing a mobile device platform to crowd-source metadata on culture, traditions, and heritage to train artificial intelligent (AI) algorithms to become more culturally aware and inclusive. We will be testing a data monetization feature to incentivize people to share and are looking for global partners. We are multimedia storytellers and data scientists who merge the timeless principles of storytelling with innovative technologies. We leverage data for smart and culturally rich stories. IVOW stands for Voices of Wisdom and, a vow to train the next generation ?of artificial intelligence storytellers to be culturally conscious. The frontiers of artificial intelligence and storytelling require that we apply intense learning from our past and traditions. AI has already impacted multiple industries leveraging algorithms to foster innovation in self-driving cars, cybersecurity, healthcare applications, and facial-recognition. IVOW is focusing on the same science for future AI consumer storytelling applications — a virtually untapped market.
