El Salvador is actively pursuing AI adoption alongside its Bitcoin initiatives to combat inflation and lessen reliance on the U.S. dollar. ARK Invest CEO Cathie Wood has forecasted that the country’s GDP could grow tenfold by 2029, citing Bukele’s commitment to transforming El Salvador into a hub for the Bitcoin and AI sectors.
Wood had previously met with Bukele in May to explore investment opportunities linked to Bitcoin and AI, as well as favorable tax policies. Since adopting Bitcoin as legal tender, El Salvador has reportedly earned over $31 million in profit, with Bukele aiming to enhance financial inclusion and innovate remittance processes.
