ICP and the AI Obsession

Should the IC be investing in AI?

The latest “tech release” hype cycle showed us that consumer tech is obsessed with AI coprocessors.

Given the choice of running a model locally or on the IC I would always choice to run my model locally. I gain nothing on running my model on the IC provided I trust my device.

With that, I think we can argue that users only stand to gain using decentralized models if they behave with a high level of compliance for a specific task. Something which as far as I know we haven’t seen.

Penny for your thoughts?

While running models locally has its advantages, such as privacy and control, the IC offers a range of benefits that should be considered when deciding where to run AI models. The IC’s scalability, cost-effectiveness, collaboration, security, reliability, access to specialized hardware, and compliance with regulations make it a compelling option for many AI use cases

Yes, but definitely not as a main focus, as efforts in other areas would be more productive.
