Company mission

To build the decentralized AI blockchain platform for an open, equitable, and collaborative economy.

Our take

Sahara AI combines blockchain technology with artificial intelligence on its decentralized platform. Founded in 2023, the company aims to disrupt the traditional AI industry by giving everyone involved in AI development an equal chance to participate and benefit.

The platform, known as the Sahara Blockchain Protocols, is designed to ensure that all users have secure ownership of their AI assets. This includes protecting their data, models, and any AI agents they create. By using blockchain technology, Sahara AI promotes an open and fair AI economy. Alongside this, the company is also addressing ethical concerns in AI, such as privacy and ownership, by building a system that prioritizes user control and transparency.

Its mission hasn't gone unnoticed, with the company recently securing substantial funding which will help the company expand its team, improve its AI blockchain performance and grow its developer community, With this support, Sahara AI is well on its way to making AI more ethical, transparent, and accessible to everyone.
