Grass AI

In his deep dive into Grass AI, Mughal explores the decentralized network for ethical data collection and monetization. Grass AI utilizes unused internet bandwidth from its users, enabling them to run nodes through a browser extension. This process facilitates web scraping and data aggregation while rewarding participants for their contributions. The project addresses the growing need for AI training datasets while focusing on privacy and ethical data usage.

Mughal highlights Grass AI's development roadmap, which includes plans to incorporate advanced zero-knowledge proofs and integrate with Solana. Additionally, Grass aims to open-source its data, providing valuable insights to companies. With backing from Polychain Capital and its parent organization, the Wind Network, Grass is positioning itself within the decentralized AI and alternative data sectors. However, Mughal notes that there are still questions regarding its token's utility, governance structure, and valuation. ^[8]
