TechFlow news, on September 12, Justin Sun, founder of TRON and member of Huobi Global Advisory Committee, was invited to speak at the EmpowerX Summit hosted by Bitget, where he discussed topics including the technological convergence between artificial intelligence and cryptocurrency. He stated, "The mining boom during the early stages of industry development was mainly driven by users employing chips for mining rather than playing video games. Later, Ethereum fully transitioned to the POS mechanism, so it no longer required chips. However, today we see companies like OpenAI continuing to drive demand and business for chips, which is why I believe there are similarities between mining machines and AI—both heavily rely on chip computing power."
Justin Sun emphasized that crypto mining is very similar to what AI does today—primarily utilizing chip computing power for extraction. In the future, there will be greater overlap between mining machine companies and AI chip companies.
