Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin said artificial intelligence does not necessarily threaten the security of cryptocurrency systems, according to Decrypt. He argued that AI could help developers mathematically verify entire software systems, offering a defensive use for the same technology that may also power new attacks. Buterin’s comments frame AI as a dual-purpose tool for the crypto sector: it can create additional security risks, but it may also support more rigorous checks of software and protocols. The view is relevant to Ethereum and the wider digital-asset market, where the security of code is central to the operation of blockchain networks and applications. His remarks do not suggest that crypto security risks have disappeared; rather, they point to AI-assisted verification as a potential way for developers to respond to emerging threats.
