Privacy regulation laws will likely continue to be widely reinforced and with stricter regulations. Federated Learning (FL) as an adoption for business will be beneficial in the long run as issues such as privacy preservation can be addressed while, continuing to be leveraging on big data. Therefore, there is a need for a proper framework to support FL in business to promote and sustain a healthy and long-lasting Federation. This is paramount to the growth of FL. FedGame serves as a valuable platform for the study of human participation behavior in the face of various incentive schemes. Users of the system will be able to experience FL participation as a data owner (business) and face decisions on participating in various Federations. Data collected on human decisions can be used and analyzed to formulate an optimal incentive scheme that encourages participation and commitment of high-quality data while still sustaining the Federation.
