BREAKING NEWS: Filecoin named in Fast Company’s Next Big Things in Tech 2024 list in the AI & Data category. 🙌 Let’s celebrate how Filecoin is reshaping the future of AI ↓ The AI industry is now worth $9 TRILLION. But here's the problem: – Few corporations control most cloud data – Single points of failure everywhere – Risk of blackouts & outages – Zero transparency Filecoin's solution? Decentralization. Think about it: – No central control – Transparent data storage – Resilient infrastructure – Open source Why is this revolutionary? AI needs data integrity for accuracy and credibility. With Filecoin you can: – Verify models – Track data – Audit computations – Ensure transparency While tech giants spend billions on data centers... Filecoin scales infinitely: – Petabyte-level storage – Decentralized compute – No corporate gatekeepers – Open access Real-world adoption is happening. Some leading AI companies using Filecoin: SingularityNET: Enhanced security Theoriq: AI agents on open datasets Bagel 🥯: Decentralized training @NuklaiData: Enterprise storage Aethir: Distributed GPU infrastructure The future of AI isn't controlled by big tech. It's: – Decentralized – Scalable – Transparent – Trustworthy And Filecoin is building that future right now. Full announcement ↓

🔥 This week I moderated an energizing panel at FIL Bangkok, hosted by Filecoin Foundation, exploring the intersection of AI and Decentralized Physical Infrastructure (DePIN). I was joined by brilliant minds from across the ecosystem: - Ayush Ranjan (Huddle01) on decentralized communication protocols - Anjali George (Theoriq) on AI agents - Alejandro Rodríguez (SingularityNET) on decentralized AI marketplaces - Jaden Yan (Aethir) on enterprise infrastructure We dove into how decentralized networks are becoming the backbone of next-gen AI systems, from data storage to compute networks. Key takeaway? The future of AI isn't just about better models - it's about democratizing access and creating community-powered infrastructure. 🌐 Excited to see how the #Filecoin network continues to evolve as a crucial component in decentralized AI!
