According to ChainCatcher, Theta Labs CEO Mitch Liu said that AI is gradually shifting from being dominated by technology giants to relying on everyday devices such as smartphones. The idle computing power of more than 1.2 billion smartphones worldwide is becoming a new driving force for the development of AI.
"Edge computing" achieved through mobile devices can reduce latency, improve privacy protection, and reduce bandwidth consumption. It is especially suitable for real-time application scenarios such as autonomous driving and augmented reality.
Liu also pointed out that blockchain technology can support this decentralized AI network and achieve secure and transparent sharing of computing resources. This new model can help reduce the dependence of AI development on data centers, while bringing new sources of income to individuals and small and medium-sized enterprises.
