Imagine the life of bees.
Is that your reaction above? No worries. Whether you're a big fan, indifferent, or you've been stung before into something of a bee thanos, this story could make you put some respect on their name.
A rather small but highly sophisticated race of beings that even the smartest human would find impressive. They are a highly cordinated civilization with groups like soldiers, worker bees and the queen bee with perfectly adapted characteristics for the role they play.
The queen bee lays the eggs which the worker bees groom, hatch and provide for while the soldiers protect the hive with their lives. Clearly defined roles well observed for over 100 million years of their existence on planet earth, even before the invention of our education system as humans.
Talk about AI-like organic bots spurned by the creator. Bees really do rock!
Not pretending to be anything of a beekeeper though - those guys would easily smoke my couch loving ass- something i find most fascinating about bees is the homes they build for themselves known as bee hives. These small spherical marvels of technology feature a central hollow housing all the bees and well crafted pores on the walls to hold the eggs and newly hatched bees till they become adults. One would wonder how these little insects could invent such an advanced system, everyone working together with clearly defined jobs.
Returning to human technology, beehives share a distinctive similarity with a relatively new technology creating the future of IT. I'm referring to the idea of cloud technology.
Cloud technology simply involves the access of computer reasources (compute, storage, server functionalities etc.) over the internet. Google cloud is a rather popular cloud technology around the world and along with Amazon AWS and Microsoft Azure, they should already be enough technology available for any desired cloud activity.
However, these famous could services highlighted have a fatal flaw in that they are owned and managed by centralized companies which makes them vulnerable to tyranny, agenda and breach of privacy. This poses rather scary possibilites for users of cloud technology, leading to the application of web 3 - decentralized storage network tech - to the cloud. The integration of web 3 and the cloud is known as web 3 cloud.
Another technology that is currently shaping the future of IT is Artificial intelligence (AI) which is the application of tech in solving human level problems. Blending AI and web 3 produces web 3 AI.
You may be going crazy now. What's with all the segways right? Well, here's your answer below;
Really? Another riddle? What's your business with a greatly less important degradation of the black lives matter movement?
We're almost there my friend.
All hives do matter, whether it be organic bot hives hanging from the tree in your backyard or an innovative new hive-like ecosystem for hosting actual AI programs.

Welcome to Aleph, welcome to the web3 AI hive.
Technically, what is Aleph?
Drawing inspiration from the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet, Aleph is an open-source off-chain P2P (peer-to-peer) network. It offers decentralized key-value store, file storage, function execution and virtual machine provisioning. Interactions with the network rely on decentralized identities that are interoperable with many major blockchain networks, such as Ethereum, Tezos, and Solana.
This enables interactions between the Aleph network and blockchain networks. Bridges also allow smart contracts to interact with the network. Aleph also provides a blockchain indexing framework, allowing developers to index data from any blockchain network by leveraging the Aleph network's decentralized storage and compute capabilities.
This wide reach in available infrastructure and functionality is what qualifies Aleph cloud as a Supercloud, a sure first not only in words of the Hebrew alphabet, but also in functional reality.

Decentralized AI transforming cloud technology
Everyone has heard about Google cloud right? The place where you upload the files you don't want lost from your Android device. Just hearing about it doesn't mean you understand right? I'll explain a bit.
The “cloud” is a global network of servers (computers that store large files with global access) that enable people have extra memory for storing digital files. Google has their own service which is known as Google cloud.
The problem with Google cloud and other web 2 cloud services is their centralized ownership and control which exposes users to problems like spying on/selling of their private data by the company or loss of data to hacking. This is where Decentralized AI comes in.
Applying decentralized AI to cloud technology ensures complete privacy of stored files since no one can control the blockchain, and intelligent security to prevent access of files by strangers through AI technology.This is a game changing application of this technology that'll revolutionize the industry.
Impacts of decentralized AI on cloud data
-
Transparency: Ever heard of Edward Snowden? Well, he was a top IT staff with the CIA who discovered that the US government was secretly spying on their citizens through their digital devices. He exposed the information to people and had to escape to Russia to ensure his safety because the US government declared him wanted after he exposed the information.
That's just one case of lack of transparency in digital data management by centralized institutions.Another case is the leak of information that Facebook, a global social media company with hundreds of millions of users sells the data uploaded on the platform to ad companies so they can advertise to users.
Though this may sound quite friendly, sale of user data without the knowledge or consent of the owners is quite fraudulent and only makes one wonder what else is going on with user data on centralized cloud platforms.This highlights a lack of transparency in how centralized companies handle the data trusted with them by unsuspecting users of the platform.
Originally inspired by this same impunity of centralized institutions which resulted in the 2008 financial crises, web 3 technology is a perfect solution to this problem. The blockchain is a decentralized public storage with global access, supervision and control. Also, artificial intelligence is the use of automation to replace human level intelligence.
Hence, combining decentralization with AI in cloud infrastructure will result in a very secure ecosystem for data storage since there is public, global oversight and minimal possibility of human error.This is an incredible level of transparency in internet data management.
-
Privacy: Transparent data management should result in privacy right? Makes a lot of sense. Except that global oversight on the operations on the blockchain creates a whole new privacy problem of it's own.People can monitor all transactions on the blockchain.
The transfer of data from one blockchain node, account or decentralized application to another is a publicly recorded and observable data. Though the use of addresses instead of user data creates a given level of anonymity, addresses themselves are like bank account numbers which are given out before transactions can be made. Hence, anyone with your wallet address could actually monitor your activities on the blockchain, sabotaging your privacy.
Decentralized AI cloud however does not really work like P2P transactions which have this flaw. Though Aleph supports P2P through the Aleph token, it's cloud storage only maintains private data storage and access, plus it leverages its support for AI programs to facilitate an extensible environment to endlessly improve upon it's transparency through the AI solutions hosted on it.
-
Security: Data breach from hacks and leaks is rampant in the digital space. Lots of companies get hacked and loose money or user data to online bandits. This has also become very common in the web 3 space with the boom in the value of cryptocurrencies. Hence, you may ask, how does decentralized AI tackle security issues for cloud data. Decentralized AI holds great promise for security in the area of intelligent security program development.
Also, a decentralized cloud infrastructure is more difficult to breach compared to the vulnerable servers of centralized institutions.Aleph cloud runs on an infrastructure of nodes distributed around the world, hence there's no single server that access to it will breach the entire system i.e., no singular point of failure. This distributed nature and intelligence support gives it a lot more security for user data and software than any other system.Reliability:Well, this is rather straight forward.
A more transparent, private and secure system is definitely more reliable cloud network is definitely more reliable than the current cloud systems we have.With decentralized AI cloud, we can rest easy that our data will not be spied on, sold or be used against us in any way without our consent.
Aleph Supercloud is a true custodian you can rely on.
What's all the hoopla about transparency?
The importance of transparency would rather be obvious to an experienced tech professional but a more regular which you may be may not really get the point. You don't really care what happens at the backend right? As long as your app run well you're alright.
Cool.
That's no problem at all, except that's what everyone thought about the finance industry till the 2008 financial crises rendered many households poor due to banking malpractice.
Innocent people with money in the bank couldn't withdraw their funds. Imagine such a situation with a popular cloud platform. Imagine loosing every data you have on Google cloud due to malpractice, mistake or hacks. Imagine hosting a successful AI software on the cloud and one day it's taken down by a server outage. You definitely would want some explanation.How about you just prevent that possibility entirely by using Aleph web AI hive.
Watch out cloud enthusiast. Busy as a bee I know but you don't want all your work hindered or undone by centralized impunity right?
Hop on Aleph Supercloud for transparency.

Fearing a blockchain Ultron?
A lot of concern has been raised about the dangers of AI especially as it concerns world safety. Even Elon Musk the richest man in the world once described AI as “summoning the demon and hoping you can cast it out”. Remember the words below? Adding it to web 3 (the new internet) raises concerns right? Imagine a fully automated internet.
I'm sorry, I know you mean well. You just didn't think it through. You want to protect the world but you don't want it to change. How is humanity saved if it's not allowed to... evolve? With these? These puppets. There's only one path to peace. The Avengers' extinction - Ultron to the Avengers.
That's from the movie Avengers - Age of Ultron. For those who may not be familiar with it, Ultron was a robot built by Iron Man (Tony Stark) one of the Avengers to protect the world, then the AI powered robot turns around and decides to wipe out mankind for robots to take over.
This scenario has been acted out a lot in movies and the idea of a “decentralized AI SuperCloud” sure sounds like something to be terrified of.
However, this a technology in it's rudimentary stage and the AI used in the platforms discussed above quite tailored to specific task. You can sleep with both eyes for now.
To Conclude:
Cloud technology is facing a new revolution with the advent of Web 3 and Artificial Intelligence. Aleph Supercloud is a new phase of this revolution integrating an array of technologies to provide a reliable ecosystem were web 3 AI programs can thrive.
