If humanity were to merge with artificial intelligence(AI) in the future, Bitcoin (BTC) could be the currency of choice for sentient machine intelligence, according to Tethers chief technology officerPaolo Ardoino.

Ardoino delved into this hypothetical reality in conversation with Cointelegraph journalist Joseph Hall in an interview during the Plan B Summer School in Lugano, Switzerland.

Ardoino believes the decentralized nature of Bitcoins protocol makes it the natural choice for AI if it were to adopt a digital currency in the future:

AGI, or artificial general intelligence, refers to artificial intelligence that can learn how to complete an intellectual task that humans can perform. The advent of large language learning models like ChatGPT has blown open the potential for AI and AGI to overhaul many industries and fundamentally change how humans carry out a litany of tasks.

Ardoino believes the future of humanity may well involve the merger of humans and AI through bionic elements and augmented brain capacity. He highlightedElon Musks Neuralink as a prime example of efforts to explore the possibility of enhanced cognition powered by AI technology.

Pointing to movies like The Matrix as popular representations of what a dystopian AI-ruled future might look like, Ardoino suggested that AGI would naturally choose Bitcoin over centralized currencies:

The chief technology officer of Tether, the company behind the largest United States dollar-backed stablecoin by market cap, Tether (USDT), also suggested that AI would not use USDT because of its centralized nature.

The possibility of a future in which humanity coexists alongside AI in whatever shape or form could be as close as 20 or 30 years away, according to Ardoino. However, this could be determined by differing focuses on reverse aging instead of incorporating AI and bionic elements into humans to augment their physical and mental capabilities.

The likes of BlackRock the worlds largest asset manager have earmarked the AI ecosystem as a prime investment opportunity, given its disruptive nature. A mid-year outlook report highlighted that gains in the S&P 500 are increasingly concentrated in a handful of tech stocks.

The interview is part of an upcoming Cointelegraph documentary about what its like to attend a Bitcoin school. Subscribe here (https://www.youtube.com/@cointelegraph) to watch.
