Vana: User-Owned Data for AI with Anna Kazlauskas

 

In this episode we dive into the future of AI data ownership with Anna Kazlauskas, co-founder of Vana. 

 

As tech giants pay millions for training data, Anna explains how Vana's blockchain infrastructure lets users collectively own and monetize their data through Data DAOs. From Reddit communities building their own language models to genetic data collectives, we explore how Vana is pioneering a new model where users share in the value their data creates.
