Company
Shared intelligence, built privately, for everyone.
NEAR AI is an artificial intelligence research, engineering, and product development company.
The problem
Today, AI is based on trust.
Every party has to hand over something they can't get back.
For users
Productivity costs privacy
Increased productivity means surrendering your most personal secrets.
For enterprises
Better AI needs risky data
Handling the data needed to feed better AI is risky, slow, and expensive.
For the public sector
Access means dependence
AI is either out of reach, or accessing it requires surrendering sovereignty and trusting foreign entities.
Tomorrow
AI will be based on verified, user-owned privacy.
