Richard and Johanna from Data Guardians Network (D-GN) join Sam to discuss building a decentralized data infrastructure for AI training. They explain how D-GN turns human input into high-quality, traceable datasets, pays contributors in stablecoins, and solves the cost, quality, and bias problems plaguing AI. They also dive into scaling challenges, community building, and the future of AI + Web3.
