Decentralized AI networks are seeking to build distributed computing infrastructure that uses smartphones as computing resources, connecting hundreds of thousands of smartphones to handle AI computing workloads in a model different from traditional centralized data centers, Cointelegraph reported on Nov. 5. It remains uncertain whether the model can secure the stability and cost efficiency needed for large-scale AI services, and further validation is required. A forecast report rated the short-term trend neutral with a confidence level of 41%, noting that efforts to build smartphone computing infrastructure strengthen the long-term narrative but the lack of verification regarding commercial stability and costs is expected to limit immediate capital inflows, while the current rise in Bitcoin dominance and net outflows of the South Korean won suggest a preference for defensive positions over the proliferation of altcoins. The mid-term outlook was neutral with a confidence level of 44%, and the long-term outlook was positive with a confidence level of 48%, with the combination of decentralized AI and distributed computing expected to offer an alternative narrative to centralized data centers and broaden demand for blockchain infrastructure in the long term, though unless stability and cost-efficiency are proven it will not translate into practical adoption.
