At CES 2025, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang presented the concept of physical AI and the innovative Cosmos platform that allows robots and autonomous devices to interact with the real world. In response, representatives from the crypto industry proposed the concept of DePAI — decentralized physical artificial intelligence.
Physical AI from Nvidia
At CES 2025, Jensen Huang announced the launch of Cosmos, a platform for developing foundational models aimed at transforming how physical AI systems are created. The platform enables the simulation of real-world conditions, helping to test AI solutions more effectively. 'We sincerely hope that the openness of Cosmos will give the world of robotics and industrial AI what Llama 3 did for industrial AI,' Huang added.
DePAI — Decentralized AI for the Future
The concept of physical AI has been picked up by the crypto community, which proposed using blockchain to combat AI centralization. The new acronym — DePAI (Decentralized Physical Artificial Intelligence) combines AI, robotics, and Web3. This project has the potential to become one of the engines of the future economy.
Potential and Challenges of DePAI
Despite the optimism, DePAI faces various challenges that must be overcome for mass adoption. Key issues include security, legal compliance, standardization, and scalability. The project is expected to serve as the foundation for decentralized systems, but questions remain about how responsibility and governance will be distributed.
The ideas proposed within DePAI open up prospects for a future where AI and humans can coexist and interact more efficiently. However, to achieve mass adoption, complex issues related to security and governance must be resolved.
