The post ASI Alliance urges decentralized cloud infrastructure for AGI projects appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

The Artificial Super Intelligence (ASI) alliance has called for decentralizing cloud infrastructure for artificial general intelligence. According to the Alliance, consisting of three blockchain-based AI projects, building AI on a decentralized cloud is the only way to future-proof these technologies. In an article published on X, the Alliance criticized centralized cloud services such as Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services, and Google Cloud as unsuitable for building AGI due to their various vulnerabilities. Why AGI needs a decentralized cloud is important AGI describes the next level of artificial intelligence advancement, where the AI has human-like intelligence. Though the concept remains largely theoretical, tech giants and AI startups are already investing billions. The ASI Alliance, however, believes these companies are going about it the wrong way. The Alliance advocated using decentralized cloud infrastructure for such projects, noting that this would democratize access to and control over data and services. Using a decentralized technology stack, developers would eliminate concerns about data distribution, resources, and control. It wrote: “AGI should be leveraging a decentralized cloud model that distributes data and governance across a network of nodes, each storing only a fragment of the data. This distribution makes its entire infrastructure infinitely more democratic.” Meanwhile, the ASI members also observed that building AGI on a centralized cloud poses a great risk due to a single point of failure and control. They noted that a bad actor could gain control of AGI technologies through a breach, wreaking untold havoc. The Alliance also noted that decentralizing cloud infrastructure aligns with a global shift towards democratizing digital services. This approach would foster innovation, allowing smaller companies to compete with tech giants dominating the cloud space. Stakeholders call for decentralized AI through blockchain technology ASI’s concerns about the centralization of AI align with the views of several stakeholders, including…
