Artificial Intelligence models are crucial elements to support many sectors in the current global economy. Training those models requires 3 main assets: data, machine learning algorithms, and processing capabilities. Given the growing concerns regarding data privacy, algorithm intellectual property, and server security, combining all 3 resources to build a model is challenging. In this paper, we propose a solution allowing providers to share their data and run their algorithms in secured cloud training environments. To provide trust for both clients and asset providers in the system, a blockchain is introduced to support the negotiation, monitoring, and conclusion of model production. Through a preliminary evaluation, we validate the feasibility of the approach and present a road map to a more secure Artificial Intelligence as-a-service.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
