As artificial intelligence continues to evolve, analysts at Bernstein emphasize that integrating cryptocurrency micropayments is crucial to avoid financial limitations in the AI sector.
Current financial systems, reliant on regional networks and traditional payment methods, face significant challenges accommodating AI.
Traditional banking and credit systems require identity verification, which AI lacks, complicating its integration into these frameworks.
Bernstein’s Gautam Chhugani argues that the real obstacle is the inability of traditional finance to handle small, frictionless payments efficiently.
AI systems could need to make numerous tiny transactions, such as for data or content streaming, but the high costs of traditional payment systems make this impractical.
Cryptocurrency offers a solution by enabling low-cost, instant transactions suitable for AI needs. With crypto wallets and advanced technologies like zero-knowledge proofs and blockchain scaling, it’s possible to support AI’s micropayment requirements effectively.
