Aivon launches blockchain-based protocol for ‘first decentralized video search engine’


Metadata is the Achilles heel of video. These shorthand textual descriptions can be employed for more detailed searching, classification or other organizing, but, when scale is required, machine-generated metadata has accuracy issues.
