In this episode of the DeFi Podcast, hosts Bill, JF, and Rhett sit down with Jean from Crunch DAO to explore how they're connecting 8,000 data scientists globally to solve complex problems while maintaining data privacy.
Jean reveals Crunch's unique approach that transforms sensitive financial data into abstracted games (like the "Bird Game" for forex trading), allowing data scientists to build powerful models without seeing the actual data. Learn how Crunch is leveraging blockchain technology to ensure fair compensation for global talent and why diversity of approaches creates superior AI solutions compared to small internal teams.
Key Topics:
How Crunch functions as "a Palantir with zero employees"
The differential privacy technique that protects sensitive financial data
Why financial institutions were the first to adopt Crunch's technology
How blockchain technology enables a global talent marketplace
The future of AI's "gut feeling" and what's coming for the Crunch platform
