Definition ∞ AI Compute Tokenization involves representing computational resources used for artificial intelligence tasks as digital tokens on a blockchain. This mechanism facilitates decentralized access, payment, and trading of AI processing power. It enables a more liquid and efficient market for specialized computing resources required for AI model training and inference.
Context ∞ The state of AI compute tokenization is presently characterized by emerging protocols aiming to decentralize access to GPU and CPU resources. A key discussion revolves around creating efficient matching engines for compute providers and consumers while ensuring data privacy and computational integrity. Future developments will focus on enhancing interoperability with existing AI frameworks and expanding the range of tokenized compute services.
