It's an honor to collaborate with the brilliant minds at
@CarnegieMellon and @CyLab.

As AI evolves from single products into complex ecosystems, defining how value is created and shared is more important than ever.

At @anaxilabs , we are committed to building the infrastructure that rewards contributors fairly.

The journey has just begun! 🌐📷🤝

[CyLab @CyLab]

A new collaboration between @CarnegieMellon and @anaxilabs aims to tackle one of the biggest unanswered questions in artificial intelligence: how the rapidly expanding #AI ecosystem should distribute the economic value it creates. @mintstudio_ai https://t.co/ogdxHF1AR2
