On June 26, Toss revealed that it has signed a memorandum of understanding with Poseidon to collaborate on the user-participation AI data project. The partnership aims to create a structure that returns value to users who contribute to data production in response to the growing demand for AI data. Poseidon will provide the blockchain infrastructure to manage data contributions, while Toss will leverage its user base of approximately 30 million to facilitate easy participation in the data economy.
To kick off this initiative, Toss plans to introduce Poseidon's data contribution service, 'Numo,' in the form of a Toss mini-app. Toss users will be able to participate in building AI training data, such as voice, images, and videos, without needing to install a separate app, and will receive rewards based on their contributions. The data collected by Numo will consist of 'first-person perspective (POV)' real-life data, which is a crucial resource for physical AI training in areas like robotics and autonomous driving, and is in high demand among global AI research institutions.
Toss intends to start collecting various forms of Korean data, including voice, images, and videos, and plans to expand the types of projects based on areas with high demand.
Seo Chang-hoon, Senior Executive at Toss, stated, "As the AI industry grows, the demand for high-quality data is rapidly increasing. Toss aims to create an environment where users can participate in the data economy more easily and naturally, and we plan to expand a structure where their contributions are transparently rewarded."
