💡 Vision Statement

“I founded the AI Grid Alliance because I believe the future of artificial intelligence must be shared, decentralized, and accessible.

AI is too important to be controlled by a few, and too powerful to remain idle. I’ve seen first-hand how industrial and cloud resources are underutilized while innovators struggle for access.

The AI Grid Alliance is my commitment to unifying compute infrastructure globally, so that we can accelerate breakthroughs in science, health, climate, and education—together.”
