Recently visiting Tesla’s Austin, Texas, headquarters, Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele met with CEO Elon Musk to go about the future of artificial intelligence (AI), Bitcoin, and technical developments. Held on September 21, the conference focused on how robots and artificial intelligence can affect world businesses and human existence going forward.
Bukele and Musk are seen in a social media video touring Tesla’s Gigafactory. The two leaders showed mutual respect; Musk hailed Bukele as a “great leader,” while Bukele said Musk was among the “great minds” of our day. Their discussion concentrated on the effects of Bitcoin and artificial intelligence, two technologies poised to revolutionize sectors and society.
Originally making news as the first nation to use Bitcoin as legal currency, El Salvador is now concentrating on the growth of artificial intelligence and other innovative technology. These developments are seen by Bukele’s government as essential for lowering dependency on the US currency, raising financial inclusion, and accelerating economic development. With Bitcoin acceptance, the nation has already achieved notable progress, making millions of money and establishing itself as a center of tech-driven development hub.
Deeply committed in artificial intelligence research and development, Musk connected with Bukele since both leaders saw a day when technology would be essential in determining world growth. Reflecting the cordial tenor of their discussion, Bukele gave Musk some Salvadoran coffee during the encounter and Musk returned with a Coca-Cola can.
With possible future cooperation between the two leaders, this conference highlights El Salvador’s aspirations to lead in both artificial intelligence and bitcoin innovation. With Bitcoin and artificial intelligence leading the way in world technology, Bukele’s attempts to establish his nation as an innovation hotspot are probably going to keep gathering steam.
