#118 - Decentralizing AI with Idle CPUs: Heisenberg Network & Data Agents | Mehdi Kargar

In this episode of the Azizi Podcast, Samir Azizi sits down with Dr. Mehdi Kargar, co-founder of Heisenberg Network, to dive deep into the most overlooked problem in AI today: AI-ready data.

You’ll learn:

Why 80% of AI projects are failing—and what Heisenberg is doing about it

How Data Agents transform raw, messy data into structured, contextual intelligence

Why CPUs, not GPUs, are the real heroes in AI data processing

How you can earn crypto just by running a lightweight node on your laptop

The future of decentralized compute and how it empowers a more open, censorship-resistant AI ecosystem

How Heisenberg cuts AI data costs by up to 70%

Dr. Kargar explains the origins of Heisenberg, how they went from Web3 predictive analytics to building the missing layer of AI, and why the network's infrastructure is powered by a decentralized network of idle CPUs from everyday users—just like you.
