Investing.com reports on a proposed merger of AI and blockchain with a $1.5 million Super AI Center. The plan, submitted to the Polkadot community by Hash Forest LLC, aims to provide top-tier technology to AI developers, including 16 Nvidia H100 GPUs, typically out of reach for smaller developers.

The Polkadot proposal includes a tiered pricing model for community members. The project is designed to democratize access to high-powered computing and decentralize AI development by providing open access to AI algorithms, data, and computing power.

Polkadot’s scalable infrastructure and shared security model support the Super AI Center. The proposal has sparked conversation about decentralized AI development and its impact on the broader blockchain space, with buzz on social media, particularly on X.

Questions have been raised about the true decentralization of the Super AI Center if it relies on off-chain components. Despite some skepticism, others see the project as an opportunity for Polkadot to lead in the ongoing AI revolution. Concerns have also been voiced about Polkadot’s treasury spending and its effects on token holders.
