NYDIG: AI is regarded as a general-purpose technology, benefiting Bitcoin in a loose monetary environment
NYDIG Research Director Greg Cipolaro believes that artificial intelligence (AI) can be regarded as a general-purpose technology, and its impact on Bitcoin depends on its effects on the labor market and monetary policy. If AI triggers turbulence in the labor market, it could prompt central banks to adopt easing policies, which would be positive for Bitcoin; conversely, if AI drives growth and pushes up real interest rates, it could exert pressure on Bitcoin. The widespread application of AI may also change employment markets and investment patterns, challenging traditional economic structures.
