BitGo Launches Labs to Develop AI and Crypto Applications

BitGo has launched BitGo Labs, a research unit that will focus first on artificial intelligence and crypto, aiming to build digital-asset applications for payments, settlement and other financial uses. The unit began with several projects, including Gokubu, a consumer app that is already available. Gokubu uses an AI-powered card to optimize users’ spending and can assign users a personalized AI financial assistant to help them get better rewards and value from transactions. BitGo plans to publish research reports, protocol prototypes and reference implementations.
