Ethereum Co-founder Vitalik Buterin Argues AI Will Not Doom Crypto Security

Ethereum (Ethereum) co-founder Vitalik Buterin stated that artificial intelligence does not signal the end of cybersecurity. Instead, he argued that advanced AI models could enhance crypto software security by making formal verification more practical for complex systems. Buterin noted that while AI could assist hackers, it also enables developers to prove software safety as a mathematical theorem. He emphasized that the primary challenge remains defining security requirements, as blockchain developers are already utilizing AI agents to scan code and identify vulnerabilities in both Ethereum and Bitcoin (Bitcoin) infrastructure.
