Leading AI models only work because they are trained on your data (without your permission). Shouldn't you own a piece of the AI models that your data helps create?

The current path of society is to allow big tech to take our data and use it to train AI models that do our jobs. The only way to prevent this is through collective action. Data is currency, and collective data is power.

The world’s first data DAO, focused on reddit data. Export your reddit and contribute it to earn points based on your karma.

@rdatadao allows users to pool and govern their data, rewarding contributors with a dataset-specific token that represents ownership of the particular dataset. It’s a bit like a labor union for data.

A data DAO has two main components: 1) onchain governance, with tokens earned for data contributions, and 2) a secure server, with a public-private key pair for encryption, where the community-owned dataset resides.
