The future of AI is on blockchain – Good Audience

A recent OpenAI report showed that "the amount of compute used in the largest AI training runs has been increasing exponentially with a 3.5 month-doubling time", this is a 300.000x increase since 2012. These consequences can proof dire for smaller firms and researchers, limiting their ability to create competitive models without significant funding. And even with funding, they might be blacklisted from resources if they're considered competition by the providers. But big corporations will feel the costs as well considering both the growth rate of resources and the growth rate of their AI efforts multiplied. I spoke to a few Chief Data Officers of Fortune 500 firms over the past months, and while they don't consider it an issue yet, even they have to agree that they can invest their money in better ways than in bought-in HPC resources.
