Two Crypto Projects That Pay People to Help Train AI

Artificial Intelligence (AI) in simple terms is like a smart robot brain. But before it becomes so smart, it must learn, in other to do this, it must go to school just like humans.

Currently, there are crypto projects just like Universities that pay people (teachers) with tokens for teaching AI.

Bittensor (TAO) and Sapien (SAPIEN) happens to be the two most popular AI schools.

Bittensor (TAO): This one Pays Computers to Teach AI. Instead of a single company training AI, people all over the world could connect their computers to help train it.

In Bittensor:

• Computers run AI models

• These AI models in turn answer questions or solve problems

• The Bittensor network checks which AI gives the best answers

• The best-performing AI earns TAO tokens

This means a smarter AI gets more rewards

Due to the fact that to use the Bittensor network you need strong computers and technical knowledge it is mainly used by developers and tech-savvy people.

Bittensor uses TAO as a reward token, and which only has 21 million TAO in existence.

The other AI school is Sapien (SAPIEN) which is less complex and easy

In Sapien: Everyday people to help train AI by doing small online tasks.

Such as:

• Looking at pictures and describing them

• Reading text and checking if it makes sense

• Listening to audio and labeling it

• Answering simple questions honestly

When people do these tasks correctly, they earn SAPIEN tokens.

Which means those who do these tasks correctly gets more rewards and vice versa.

Currently Sapien has millions of users worldwide because anyone with a phone or computer can participate.

Bittensor vs Sapien

While Bittensor pays computers and AI experts to train AI, Sapien on the other hand pays normal people to help AI understand humans.

Although they are both different, they reward people for training AI using crypto.

In summary Bittensor pays people who uses machines to teach AI how to think, while Sapien pays humans who uses simple task to make AI smarter.
