Why are all governments pro AI and are so against cryptocurrency? AI has been often conisdered as a threat to humanity but governments use it extensively but blockchain is the best thing that is ever happened to us humans and why do governments hate it so much? They are okay with driverless cars moving around streets but are not okay with currency that will make us more independent? Why this bias?
Depends on the country that you're talking about.
It's definitely a generalisation to say that every single country globally is anti-crypto, while every single country is pro-AI. Simply does not work like that. Some countries hold neutral positions in regards to crypto policy, others may be anti-crypto. There is a spread of national interest in crypto across the world, on an individual level.
For countries who do have harsh crypto laws, I think that there are three main reasons. One is that it takes direct control out of their hands when it comes to monetary policy. Secondly, there is a fear of tax evasion using crypto. Thirdly, there may be irrational fears of crypto being used as a currency to facilitate illegal transactions. But honestly, these concerns have all been debunked before, and I believe that for their own good, countries should at least encourage crypto businesses and regulate these businesses, instead of just flat out trying to ban it.
