What is Dbrain ICO?
First, Artificial Intelligence (AI) which is all about data. Datasets used for machine learning are still labelled by hand, which requires a lot of effort. This creates a lot of friction – labelling quality is not guaranteed, and the initial data source is not secured. Dbrain allows people to work together in secure, seamless, integrated processes for buying, designing, and building AI apps, from start to finish.
Dbrain is an open blockchain platform that links crowd workers and data scientists enabling them to transform raw data into real-world AI solutions. Crowd workers do simple tasks of data labelling and validation and are paid instantly in cryptocurrency for their work. Data scientists use the resulting datasets to train Neural Networks (NN) and build AI apps. Dbrain automates AI production and data workflow by providing efficient tools to all parties, including a web application, a Telegram bot, and a mobile app.

Dbrain ensures following characteristics:
High-quality datasets: Dbrain guarantees quality of datasets without any work duplication. To align the incentives for crowdworkers, validators, AI developers, and data owners, Dbrain implements the Subjective Proof of Crowdwork Protocol (SPOCK), which validates data quality automatically and guarantees real-time, fair, transparent billing to workers and data owners.
Security and trust: Dbrain protects data owners’ interests and prevents leaks at all stages of AI app development. No matter who uploads data on the platform, the Protocol for Indirect Controlled Access to Repository Data (PICARD) protects datasets and AI apps hosted on the platform

SPOCK Protocol:
Dbrain implements the Subjective Proof of Crowdwork Protocol (SPOCK), which automatically verifies data quality and guarantees real-time, fair and transparent billing to workers and task requesters.
Validators either do the same work for the simplest tasks such as image classification,or confirm the correctness of complex tasks. When the majority of validators agree on the task result quality, then the original worker receives a payment and a higher rating. Workers get a lower rating and no payment for rejected tasks.

PICARD protocol
The Protocol for indirect controlled access to repository data (PICARD) protects datasets and AI applications hosted on the Dbrain platform and allows data scientists to train AI models using the datasets without downloading them, and to sell AI solutions to business clients later.
Owners can set a public price on their data and models and list them publicly on the Dbrain platform. Alternatively, the owners of existing data and models and new developers can agree on revenue sharing from the resulting product. Our very granular access control records history into immutable ledgers audited by third parties, guaranteeing fair and precise distribution of revenues from AI Apps.

Web application & Product
The Dbrain web application (DApp) allows validation tasks for crowdworkers and for every Internet user to perform tasks, earn Crypto.
Telegram bot
Dbrain provides the opportunity to anyone with an internet connected device to be able to label data and get paid instantly with Dbraincoins. This Telegram Bot is hence ideal for simple image labeling and validation tasks.

Applications:
• Image recognition: Image recognition (including classification and tagging) is one of the most commonly applied AI use cases today. People communicate in images, and images are essential for product discovery nowadays. The Dbrain team launched a successful AI application for content creation in e-commerce in 2016. They reduced the cost of processing one image from 10-100 US cents to a fraction of a penny by using a deep learning network, thus saving millions of dollars for one of the biggest e-commerce marketplaces.
• Video surveillance: Surveillance camera companies often rely on AI to detect dangerous or criminal behavior automatically. Surveillance companies will upload videos from surveillance cameras onto the Dbrain platform. Crowdworkers will detect and tag unusual videos and send them to the neural network. After that, the trained model will become better at detecting emergencies, fights, robberies, and similar activities.
• Medical data processing: One of the most important AI use cases is cancer detection. Pathologists do not have a platform for data exchange on cancer detection and on many other illnesses. Dbrain will create a protocol for exchanging data between all parties concerned in different countries, with different legal restrictions. Pathologists, patients and medical organizations can leverage the Dbrain protocol and contribute their datasets to AI models without sacrificing patients’ privacy. Such a platform could help predict cancer at early stages, thus saving millions of cancer patients’ lives.

Verdict
Pros:
The use of blockchain protocol to develop AI apps is creating transparency. Dbrain is the appropriate method to make AI learn through the data received by common users and also giving users to earn cryptocurrency in return.
Cons:
Though showcasing a good idea but it does not have any partnerships which doubts the reliability on this platform.
