PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS

Problems​

High Costs of AI Development​

The entire AI development lifecycle is often prohibitively expensive for many businesses.

Real-World Examples

  • OpenAI's GPT-4: The development of OpenAI's GPT-3 language model reportedly cost hundreds of millions of dollars due to the massive computational resources required for training.
  • Self-Driving Cars: Companies developing self-driving cars like Waymo and Cruise have invested billions of dollars in research, development, and testing.
  • AI in Healthcare: Developing AI models for medical diagnosis and treatment often requires extensive clinical trials and regulatory approvals, leading to significant costs.

Blockchain Market Challenges​

  • Limited Scalability: Existing blockchains like Ethereum face scalability issues, resulting in high transaction fees and slow processing times when the network is congested.
  • Security and Privacy Concerns: While blockchain offers high transparency and security, security issues persist, including 51% attacks and vulnerabilities in smart contracts.
  • Interoperability and Standardization Challenges: The lack of interoperability and standardization between different blockchains limits the development and widespread adoption of decentralized applications.
  • Performance and Latency Issues: Traditional blockchains struggle to process a large number of transactions quickly, impacting performance and user experience.
  • True Decentralization: Some blockchain platforms, despite advertising themselves as decentralized, still rely heavily on centralized entities for security and network operations.
  • Untapped Computing Resources: Millions of edge devices globally possess significant computing capabilities but are often underutilized.

Underutilized Personal Devices​

  • Smartphones: A 2024 study estimated over 6 billion smartphone users worldwide, each carrying a device with substantial processing power but primarily used for communication and entertainment.
  • Computers and Laptops: Millions of computers and laptops sit idle for extended periods, especially outside working hours, representing a vast untapped computational resource.
  • Other Smart Devices: IoT devices, gaming consoles, and other smart devices collectively possess significant computing power that could be harnessed for AI tasks.

Research and Estimates​

  • UC Berkeley Research: A study by researchers at UC Berkeley estimated that the combined computing power of idle personal computers in the US alone could surpass the world's fastest supercomputers.
  • Potential Energy Savings: A report by the International Energy Agency (IEA) suggests that optimizing the use of existing computing resources could save up to 15% of global electricity consumption in the IT sector.

Lack of Incentives for Users: Device owners currently lack incentives to share their computing resources or participate in AI-related tasks.
