Story Protocol Rebrands as DATA Foundation to Offer Licensable Data for AI Firms

Story Protocol has rebranded as the DATA Foundation, positioning itself to supply licensable datasets to artificial intelligence companies that it says have exhausted publicly available online material for training. According to Cointelegraph, the organization’s stated goal is to provide data that AI firms can legally license as they face limits on how much additional information can be gathered from the open internet. The report says the DATA Foundation is aiming to meet demand from AI developers seeking new sources of training data while addressing licensing needs. Cointelegraph notes that the foundation’s approach centers on offering data specifically intended to be licensable for AI use, framed as a response to the idea that major AI firms have “run out of internet to scrape.”
