About
Data Dividend Fund
A managed investment fund that tracks and distributes profits generated from the use of individual's synthesized data by third-party vendors. Participants 'donate' use of the AI-synthesized form of their data and in return receive a percentage of revenue generated, creating a direct economic incentive for data sharing (albeit with a caveat of potential exploitation). Transparency is key, showing where each 'donation' is going. High risk, high reward.

Future Scenarios that inspired this product idea

AI-driven tools will automate synthesizing personal data for sharing with third-party vendors, which significantly decreases risks associated with data sharing.
