According to BlockBeats, on September 28, the CEO of Theta Labs, the parent company of the decentralized video network Theta Network, said that AI's demand for resources is endless, consuming 460 terawatt-hours of electricity in 2022 and is expected to increase to 620 to 1050 terawatt-hours by 2026.
AI craves computing power to train complex models, analyze massive data sets, and perform large-scale reasoning. Smartphones and tablets represent a vast, almost untapped computing resource worldwide, with 1.21 billion devices expected to ship in 2024.
Blockchain is well suited for a distributed AI ecosystem, as its decentralized nature is consistent with the goal of utilizing the idle computing power of millions of devices around the world. Through blockchain technology, a secure, transparent, and incentivized framework can be created to share computing resources.
The future of AI innovation lies in leveraging the power of existing devices to create an inclusive, efficient and innovative AI ecosystem through edge computing. This decentralized approach not only makes AI more democratized, but also aligns with global sustainable development goals to ensure that the benefits of AI are shared by more people.
