Big Tech is currently dominating the pursuit of ever more capable AI. This happens behind closed doors and results in a monopoly of power. SingularityNET is an open, decentralized network where anyone can offer and consume AI services, and where AI agents can interlink with each other to provide ever more sophisticated AI, with the goal to create a singularity that's beneficial for humanity. This video takes a look at the basics behind SingularityNET and some of its core components.

ADDENDUM:
I forgot to mention one important example for the utility of dynamic matchmaking: If I have a German text to summarize, and there is a German summarizer, but there is also a better English one, a clever AI could figure out for me whether to use the German one or whether to use a translator to English, then the English summarizer, then a backtranslator. And it could even do so depending on the input text.

Abstract:
[...] Most AI research today is controlled by a handful of corporations—those with
the resources to fund development. Independent developers of AI tools have no
readily available way to monetize their creations. Usually, their most lucrative
option is to sell their tool to one of the big tech companies, leading to control of
the technology becoming even more concentrated. SingularityNET’s open-source
protocol and collection of smart contracts are designed to address these problems.
Developers can launch their AI tools on the network, where they can interoperate
with other AIs and with paying users.
Not only does the SingularityNET platform give developers a commercial
launchpad (much like app stores give mobile app developers an easy path to
market), it also allows the AIs to interoperate, creating a more synergistic, broadly
capable intelligence. For example, if a text-to-speech AI and an Italian-to-English
translation AI were both on the network, then the network as a whole would be
capable of using Italian text to produce English speech.
Within this framework, AI transforms from a corporate asset to a global
commons; anyone can access AI tech or become a stakeholder in its development.
Also, anyone can add an AI/machine learning service to SingularityNET for use
by the network and receive network payment tokens in exchange. [...]
