Bitfinex report: If mining power is transferred to AI in the long term, the risk of Bitcoin centralization will increase

Odaily Planet Daily News Bitfinex released an analysis report stating that the symbiotic potential between Bitcoin mining and artificial intelligence infrastructure cannot be ignored. Artificial intelligence operations require a lot of energy and professional facilities, and Bitcoin miners already have these facilities. Reducing the scale of Bitcoin mining during peak AI operations or high energy demand, and increasing the scale of mining when energy is more sufficient, this dynamic can improve the economic efficiency of mining operations while maintaining sufficient hash power for the Bitcoin network. Whether this shift is beneficial or detrimental to the Bitcoin network depends on the degree of diversification of miners and the ability of the industry to maintain network security in the ever-changing dynamics. If executed strategically, the combination of artificial intelligence and Bitcoin mining can promote innovation and efficiency without compromising the decentralized nature of Bitcoin. However, if a large amount of hash power is permanently transferred, the Bitcoin network may face greater centralization risks. Choosing artificial intelligence over other digital assets is also in line with the broader strategic goals of many mining companies. The growth trajectory of the artificial intelligence industry is expected to achieve long-term scalability and align with emerging technology trends from automation to advanced data analysis.
