A man who accidentally threw away a hard drive containing 8,000 Bitcoins has hatched an $11 million plan to get them back again with the help of artificial intelligence (AI).
James Howells, from the city of Newport, in southern Wales, unintentionally threw the hard drive containing the Bitcoins in a garbage bin back in 2013, and has been desperately searching for a way to find the disk ever since, Business Insider reports.
