Data provenance is becoming a key parameter in the GenAI landscape. Lawmakers are demanding it and the cost of non-compliance is extremely high.
Luckily, we've built a toolkit for building an immutable and auditable data trail. No 3rd party needed and standard-agnostic. 👇👇👇

We'll likely end up with a mixed model. On one side a microtransaction-based and on the other a lot more privacy-oriented ad-based business. Because this example shows (bit.ly/2P7ObGP) that privacy isn't a business liability but can be a strong revenue growth driver. /3
