Theta Labs CEO: The next wave of AI will come from the mobile sector
According to ChainCatcher news, as reported by CoinDesk, Theta Labs CEO Mitch Liu stated that AI is gradually shifting from being dominated by tech giants to relying on everyday devices such as smartphones. The idle computing power of over 1.2 billion smartphones worldwide is becoming a new driving force for AI development.
"Edge computing" enabled by mobile devices can reduce latency, enhance privacy protection, and decrease bandwidth consumption, making it particularly suitable for real-time application scenarios such as autonomous driving and augmented reality. Liu also pointed out that blockchain technology can support this decentralized AI network, enabling secure and transparent sharing of computing resources. This new model helps reduce AI development's dependence on data centers while providing new revenue sources for individuals and small to medium-sized enterprises.
