The "Why now" of Data DAOs: Here's why Data DAOs are critical for the Agentic web👇🏻🧵

Imagine a world where your personal data could be the key to unlocking the next AI breakthrough. One way to unlock is through "Data DAOs."

Why now?

- Public data: Largely exhausted
- Login-gated content: Mostly inaccessible
- Private user data: An untapped goldmine

Enter Data DAOs: Collectives that create, organize, and govern data. They offer a solution to both the 'what' and 'how' of data collection:

1. New datasets: Opening up previously inaccessible data sources.
2. Fair value distribution: Ensuring data contributors see economic upside.
3. Governance: Allowing users to control how their data is used and monetized.

Potential Data DAO Applications:
- Real-world data from IoT devices
- Human feedback for AI model fine-tuning
- Private user data, ethically sourced and governed

As publicly available data sources become exhausted, proprietary datasets will likely become the new basis of competition in AI.
