Aivon launches blockchain-based protocol for ‘first decentralized video search engine’
The Singapore-based organization is launching a non-profit community composed of token-incentivized humans who validate AI-generated metadata.
Metadata is the Achilles heel of video. These shorthand textual descriptions can be employed for more detailed searching, classification or other organizing, but, when scale is required, machine-generated metadata has accuracy issues.
