Main Idea
Greg Osuri, CEO of Akash, argues that decentralized infrastructure is essential for the U.S. to compete in AI, as centralized data centers are inefficient and limit AI's transformative potential.
Key Points
1. AI is reshaping modern civilization, but centralized data centers are rigid, expensive, and geographically confined, limiting AI's potential.
2. U.S. data centers used ~200 terawatt-hours in 2024, with AI power usage predicted to reach 165-326 terawatt-hours annually by 2028.

4. Decentralized infrastructure offers resilience in crises and allows developers to build independently of Big Tech.
5. The future of AI should be built on freedom, transparency, and trust, not surveillance and control.

Soon, every major institution, from hospitals to the military, will integrate AI into their core operations, raising the stakes for the infrastructure that underpins it.
