Greg Osuri, founder of Akash Network, cautioned at Token2049 in Singapore that the energy demands of AI training could soon rival those of nuclear reactors. He highlighted the industry's underestimation of the rapid increase in computational needs and its environmental impact, with data centers already consuming significant fossil fuel power. Osuri warned of potential energy crises, increased electricity costs, and substantial new emissions. He advocated for decentralized solutions, such as distributed training on hybrid GPU networks, to enhance efficiency and sustainability. Osuri also emphasized the importance of technical innovations and fair incentives to encourage the use of idle computing power for AI training.
