Decentralized AI is definitely the future of AI development as a whole.
@Ocean Protocol has a number of features that will form the foundation for decentralized AI.
-----------------------------------
Data NFTs (ERC721)
Protect data ownership as intellectual property. Important: without clear ownership rights, no one will share valuable datasets > AI starves without quality data.
Datatokens (ERC20)
Provide flexible access: buy, rent, get a temporary key. This creates a liquid data market — monetization for owners + cheap access for AI developers.
Compute-to-Data
Algorithms come to the data, not the other way around. Data remains private, calculations are performed on the provider's side.
Key for AI: training on sensitive datasets without leaks > truly private + decentralized AI.
Ocean Nodes
Decentralized compute (GPU/CPU). Scales model training without Big Tech monopolies.
-----------------------------------
The result: data flows freely, privately, and profitably > AI becomes truly decentralized and accessible to all.
