Greg Osuri's Vision for Decentralized Cloud Computing | The Future of AI & Web3 Infrastructure

The cloud is broken—can decentralization fix it? In this episode, Greg Osuri, founder of Akash Network, shares his groundbreaking approach to decentralized cloud computing and how it's disrupting hyperscalers like AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure. 

Discover how Akash Network's peer-to-peer marketplace is slashing cloud costs, unlocking unused compute power, and paving the way for AI-driven infrastructure without Big Tech's control.

What You'll Learn in This Episode:
- Why AI training is hitting an energy bottleneck and how decentralization solves it
- How Akash Network creates a global marketplace for underutilized compute power
- The role of blockchain in securing cloud resources and enforcing smart contracts
- The privacy risks of hyperscalers—and why sovereign AI in the home is the future
- How Akash Network is evolving from a resource marketplace to a full-fledged services economy
- The future of AI, energy-efficient cloud solutions, and decentralized infrastructure

The battle for the future of cloud computing is on—and decentralization is winning. If you're interested in AI, blockchain, Web3, or the economics of cloud infrastructure, this episode is a must-watch!
