It took the combined effort of the mining industry and Bitcoin advocates to kick off numerous renewable energy initiatives, which resulted in the share of “green energy ” in the Bitcoin mining industry growing to over 58%. As Bitcoin carved a sustainable path into the future for itself, another technology started causing qualms in parallel with its explosive growth — artificial intelligence (AI).
