Hardware Layer

The hardware layer serves as the backbone of AI, providing the essential processing power needed for the inference and training of AI models.

Data centres consist of a bespoke setup of land, energy sources and hardware assets such as graphics processing units (GPUs) and central processing units (CPUs) to fulfil the required computation demand. The recent exponential increase in demand for compute has opened a lucrative yield-generation opportunity in the area. Artificial Superintelligence Alliance (ASI) members SingularityNET and Fetch.ai are both investing heavily in data centres, while Cudos provides a decentralised marketplace for AI compute for data centres worldwide to access compute on the blockchain.
