FLock.io aims to build a decentralized, privacy-preserving solution for Artificial Intelligence. It has proposed a research initiative called Federated Learning Blocks (FLocks for short), which uses blockchain as a coordination platform among data holders to conduct Machine Learning while keeping data local and private. By replacing the central entity that collects data and organizes machine learning with blockchain, FLocks aims to empower users to mine insights from their own data and monetize at their own discretion.
