AI Can Now Send Bitcoin, Thanks to Lightning Labs
AI applications like OpenAI’s GPT series can now use bitcoin for transactions, thanks to new tools unveiled by Lightning Labs. The lack of a native Internet-based payment mechanism has been a problem for AI platforms, forcing them to rely on outdated methods like credit cards. Lightning, a second-layer payment network for bitcoin, aims to solve this issue by providing high-volume bitcoin micropayments via Lightning. By integrating Lightning into popular AI software libraries, Lightning Labs believes it will not only make software deployment cheaper but also expand the range of possible use cases for AI. For example, AI software could be designed to pay for API access, allowing for more complex interactions and transactions.
Key Points:
– Lightning Labs has unveiled tools that enable AI applications to hold, send, and receive bitcoin.
– AI platforms currently rely on outdated payment methods like credit cards, limiting their use cases.
– Lightning is a second-layer payment network for bitcoin that provides cheaper and faster transactions.
– Integrating Lightning into popular AI software libraries will expand the range of possible use cases for AI.
– One potential use case is the ability to create software that charges for API access, allowing for more complex interactions.
