# AI Marketplace

AI Marketplaces are hubs where AI-solvable challenges are presented, accompanied by pertinent data. If the community crafts a valuable solution, small businesses and relevant stakeholders can procure access to these models. The essence of a marketplace is the transaction of trained models and datasets via an order-based mechanism, involving two primary stakeholders: Data Scientists and businesses aspiring to develop AI algorithms.

Stakeholders seeking an algorithm navigate a customer journey akin to an order-based system, searching metadata of algorithms or datasets to retrieve relevant offerings. Similarly, Data Scientists can pinpoint pertinent proposals based on their expertise.

Stakeholders can acquire AI in two formats\*:

* Proprietary AI models with full ownership rights (i.e., Data Scientists place specific proprietary completed AI models on the marketplace for general use or for sale); and
* Access to an AI API linked to a trained model via API credits (i.e., Community Competition AI models).

*\* This is subject to each competition's set of rules for AI models (set at the time of the competition) set by Infrastructure Providers, depending on the businesses' and data scientists' requirements. These rules will dictate how the model is accessed, utilised and monetised.*
