The shortage of compute power needed to train AI models has been identified as a problem that block chain and crypto can help solve, with the collapse of the digital currency market last year, demand for graphics processing units (GPUs) needed for calculations plummeted.
As a result, AI researchers and startups have turned to block chain-based markets as a cost-effective solution to access compute power. Companies have created protocols that allow owners of GPUs to rent them out on the block chain.
