# Gata, Why?

Modern AI has achieved remarkable breakthroughs, but these advances rest on a fragile foundation.&#x20;

Today, AI models are largely powered by data collected from centralized platforms — often without transparency, user consent, or fairness.&#x20;

This centralized control creates several critical problems:&#x20;

* a few corporations monopolize the world’s most valuable training datasets;
* valuable data remains siloed across disconnected ecosystems;&#x20;
* users have little visibility or control over how their personal data is collected, stored, or used;&#x20;
* most importantly, poor-quality and biased data leads to misaligned, unsafe AI behavior.

To truly align AI with human values, we need more than better algorithms — we need better data foundations.

Thus, Gata is created to address this urgent need by offering a new paradigm: a decentralized, user-owned AI data layer, where data is created, verified, and owned by the community itself — not by centralized platforms. Through Gata, we aim to rebuild the infrastructure for frontier AI, grounded in openness, transparency, and trust.
