An AI With Millions of Human Eyes? Rwazi’s VP of Product Explains & Meta’s $25B New Mexico Fine
Q: What does Rwazi's zero-party data approach mean, and how might it apply to industries such as oil and gas?
Slatev says Rwazi connects the person providing data directly with the customer seeking it, with the contributor's consent and compensation. The company uses submitted photos and other smartphone-captured data for purposes such as monitoring infrastructure, prices, and supply chains; the hosts suggest potential oil and gas uses including invasive-species monitoring and workplace safety.
