Building AI systems traditionally requires enormous computing power controlled by tech giants like Google and Amazon. But a new movement called decentralized AI is changing this by creating networks where anyone can contribute their computing resources—from gaming PCs to data centers—and earn tokens in return.
Think of it like Uber for artificial intelligence: instead of needing your own fleet of expensive cars (or servers), you tap into a distributed network of individual contributors. This approach could democratize AI development, making it accessible to researchers and startups who can’t afford million-dollar infrastructure bills. Early projects are already showing promise, though challenges around security and coordination remain.
