From 1M to 3.5M Contributors: Web3-Powered Growth for AI Data Infrastructure
Jordan Gray & Oliver Clingain
Tech Ascent - Episode 82
In this episode of Tech Ascent, host Oliver Clingain sits down with Jordan Gray, Co-Founder and CMO at PublicAI. Jordan breaks down how PublicAI is building the “human layer” of AI—a global contributor network of 3.5M+ people providing real-world data (video, audio, image, text) that powers production-grade models.
They dive into why synthetic data isn’t enough, how PublicAI grew from under 1M to 3.5M contributors in a year using Web3 incentives, and what it really takes to market highly technical AI infrastructure without sounding like everyone else.
