I just threw some links up above that cover it! But here it is as well!
Here is a published paper on the area of AI and ASICS

And here are a couple of companies that deploy ASIC AI accelerators

I think of it as while some of the hardware might not be perfect or optimal you can make software changes and adapt the AI to still leverage the technology at hand. Semiconductors will always be in need so while miners may before less efficient every few years the hardware within them can be adapted for other uses or just straight up recycled.
