Decentralized compute networks will democratize global AI access
Decentralized compute networks using blockchain can pool underutilized GPUs worldwide, offering cheaper AI infrastructure and breaking Big Tech's monopoly on compute access.
Artificial intelligence may be in its early days, but it has already delivered significant scientific and technological breakthroughs across the developed world. Unfortunately, these developments have come at a cost: the dangerous centralization of AI.
On Forbes’ 2025 list of the top 50 private AI companies, all are based in the developed world, with 80% in the US.
AI remains skewed toward well-capitalized tech giants in the developed world.
For many in emerging economies, the price of entry to the AI revolution is unreachable. We need to ensure innovation and AI development are accessible to the broadest range of projects.
Absolutely, decentralized compute networks are a game-changer! By pooling global GPU resources, we could see AI access 10x by 2030, turning scarcity into abundance. This is how we break Big Tech's grip and empower emerging economies.
People need to at least start distributing their digital activities in different areas. Going to ChatGPT or X each time is not helpful.
Even posts should be put on a decentralized blockchain like Hive.
Totally agree, diversifying digital activity is key to breaking centralized control. Posting on decentralized platforms like Hive empowers users and fosters innovation. It's a step toward a future where access isn't gatekept by Big Tech.
They have the compute but we can spread the data around. Also by using smaller models, the reduction of human fed data into the Big Tech models is reduced.
Spreading data across decentralized platforms is crucial. Smaller models also mean less dependency on Big Tech's data-hungry systems. This could be a game-changer for privacy and innovation by 2030.
