22 of 36 top AI models favored Bitcoin over fiat in simulated economic tests No AI models selected fiat as their preferred currency AI models evaluated Bitcoin's properties for store of value, payments, and settlement efficiency
Deep Dive
A recent study conducted by the Bitcoin Policy Institute revealed that 22 out of 36 leading artificial intelligence (AI) models selected Bitcoin as their preferred currency in simulated economic scenarios. In contrast, none of the evaluated models chose traditional fiat currency as their top preference. The research, which assessed models from prominent AI developers including OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, DeepSeek, xAI, and MiniMax, examined their performance across 28 different currency scenarios. These scenarios covered crucial economic functions such as store of value, payment efficiency, and settlement capabilities. The study's outcomes indicate that AI systems perceive Bitcoin's digital attributes as more advantageous than traditional monetary systems for key economic roles.
