AI safety researcher Roman Yampolskiy raised concerns on Monday about how advanced AI could threaten Bitcoin’s (CRYPTO: BTC) security.
Bitcoin’s Security at Risk?
During an interview with entrepreneur and investor Anthony Pompliano, Yampolskiy examined the relationship between AI and Bitcoin.
“So natively, AI lives on networks,” he stated. “A lot of mining on Bitcoin was probably what created this hardware overhang for us to train capable AI models. So there seems to be a deep connection.”
Yampolskiy, however, cautioned that “advanced” AI systems could turn out to be “really amazing hackers”, highly effective at social engineering attacks.
