Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about how artificial intelligence is beginning to reshape entire industries — and crypto is no exception.
On the one hand, AI can improve efficiency, trading, even security audits.
But on the other hand… what happens when large AI-driven entities begin dominating mining, node operation, or even governance decisions in DAO-based Bitcoin side projects?
Could the rise of AI contradict Bitcoin’s core principle: decentralization?
Could AI centralize mining pools further?
Can it manipulate narratives and markets at scale?
Could we eventually see AI-designed chains trying to “out-Bitcoin” Bitcoin?
Would love to hear thoughts — does AI pose a real threat to Bitcoin’s future, or is it just another tool we’ll adapt to like everything else?
At the moment AI can't dominate mining, node operations and other things because it doesn't have that capability. I use AI in UI/UX design and I'd say that while it's good and promising, it's very limited. AI UI/UX design generations mostly work by having a database of sample codes and modifying them, it can't create a brand new design, it uses templates, different parts of templates and builds something by assembling them.
At the moment, do not be afraid of AI manipulating everything. That threat will come when AI becomes so advanced that it will be able to do things on its own and will be able to automate every action that human does with computer.
