BlockBeats News: On September 28th, the CEO of Theta Labs, the parent company of the decentralized video network Theta Network, expressed the view that AI's demand for resources is endless. It consumes a large amount of electricity and data, estimated to have used 460 terawatt hours (TWh) in 2022, and is expected to significantly increase to between 620 and 1050 TWh by 2026. However, what AI craves the most is computing power: the ability to support complex model training, analyze massive datasets, and perform large-scale inference. Smartphones and tablets represent vast and almost untapped resources of global computing power. By 2024 alone, it is expected that 1.21 billion devices will be shipped, and the true potential of their idle computing power is difficult to estimate. Blockchain is very suitable for this distributed AI ecosystem. Its decentralized nature seamlessly aligns with the goal of utilizing the idle computing power of millions of devices worldwide. By utilizing blockchain technology, we can create a secure, transparent, and incentivized framework for sharing computing resources. The future of AI innovation lies not in building larger data centers, but in harnessing the power already present in pockets and homes. By turning the focus to edge computing, a more inclusive, efficient and innovative AI ecosystem can be born. This decentralized approach not only democratizes AI, but also aligns with global sustainable development goals, ensuring that the benefits of AI are not only enjoyed by a privileged few.
