Friedberg Predicts Distributed AI Model Where Enterprises Run Their Own Inference On-Premise

What was said

"Everyone's realizing quite quickly that in order to compete in a world of commoditizing knowledge and commoditizing capabilities, you have to leverage the core differentiating assets that you have, which means you have to build your own models, and you will likely end up having to run your own inference with your own proprietary models."

David Friedberg argued the AI industry is shifting from large hub-and-spoke centralized cloud models to a distributed system where enterprises train their own models and run inference locally. He revealed Anthropic has been trying to sign up life sciences companies to contribute proprietary data to new models, but companies are refusing because it would commoditize their multi-billion dollar datasets. Companies are choosing sovereignty over their intellectual property.
