# Challenges

As the global AI industry is projected to grow to $1.81 trillion by 2030, the path to achieving Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) faces significant challenges:

**AI Commercialization:** AI models need an App Store to reach users and generate revenue. Grafi AI App Store provides a seamless AI-as-a-Service (AIaaS) platform for developers to monetize their work.

**Barriers for Developers:** Small teams and startups face high costs and limited access to tools. Our AI Co-Builder lets anyone build, deploy, and scale AI models using fractional GPUs.

**Insufficient** **Compute Power:** The existing infrastructure can’t keep up with the demand for AI. Our CeDePIN Cloud solves this by offering scalable, cost-effective compute resources.  

**Data Integrity, Ownership & Security:** Data ownership and model integrity are critical. Our AI Data Layer ensures tamper-proof, verifiable records of AI development on-chain, protecting data rights and usage.
