DataTrust AI is a platform designed to facilitate ethical and compliant data sourcing, licensing, and annotation for AI development. It addresses the growing concerns around content theft, data privacy, and regulatory compliance (like California’s AI safety bill) by providing a transparent marketplace where content creators and data owners can license their data to AI companies. The platform ensures proper attribution, fair compensation, and adherence to specific usage rights, helping AI developers avoid legal pitfalls and build more trustworthy models. It also offers integrated, human-in-the-loop annotation services, ensuring high-quality, ethically sourced training data, filling the gap left by internal data annotation team reductions.
