Summary

An AI/ML PhD student argues that rising compute costs are making AI less accessible, disproportionately disadvantaging researchers and developers in lower-income regions.

I am a AI/ML PhD student and my background is computer science. So I code a lot and I build a lot of software for my PhD research. Anyone with more compute/credits is winning. It’s that simple. This is going to totally change the tide. Anyone with more money can win now. People in the east or Low income countries are just going to be massively disadvantaged in any field. Not just ones where you needed compute or high cost materials/equipment.
