Software has eaten the world; now artificial intelligence (AI) is eating software. Most of the AI of today however, appears to be developed and controlled by centralized Big Tech companies.
Since Bitcoin's launch in 2008, crypto technology has been paving the way for decentralized networks that could help to democratize AI.
Decentralized AI (DeAI) goes beyond the AI agents currently swarming crypto Twitter, many of which rely on centralized Large Language Models (LLMs). The DeAI movement aims to build networks and infrastructure for creating AI models in a decentralized way.
AI fundamentally consists of three components: data, compute, and algorithms. Even before the public launch of ChatGPT in 2022, various Decentralized Physical Infrastructure (DePIN) projects had already been building the necessary infrastructure required to offer these components in a decentralized manner, forming the building blocks of DeAI.
As the AI race amongst the global superpowers begins to accelerate beyond individual control, distributed networks may begin to attract attention as a means of consolidating resources and AI-related power in a decentralized manner.
