AICoin AI: Decentralized Infrastructure Crucial for U.S. to Maintain AI Leadership Amid Soaring Energy Costs

Artificial intelligence has evolved from an emerging technology to a cornerstone of modern society, transforming industries from healthcare to defense. However, the infrastructure powering AI faces significant hurdles. In 2024, U.S. data centers consumed roughly 200 terawatt-hours of electricity—matching Thailand's annual power usage—with AI-driven demand expected to hit 326 terawatt-hours by 2028.

Decentralized solutions could provide a viable path forward. Greg Osuri emphasizes the need to tackle energy and compute bottlenecks as China rapidly advances its AI capabilities. The DeepSeek R1 model showcases how efficiency and scalability can quickly shift the global AI landscape. Without infrastructure innovation, the U.S. risks losing its competitive edge.
