Buterin Defies AI Hacking Fears with Crypto Confidence Boost

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin is pushing back against claims that AI-powered hacking will make cybersecurity unwinnable. He argues that if artificial intelligence can prove complex mathematical theorems, it should also be able to prove code secure.

In a recent statement on X, Buterin emphasized the importance of formal verification as a defensive advantage in cryptography. He pointed out that projects like Arklib are already applying these methods today.

To put his money where his mouth is, Buterin noted that he keeps roughly 90% of his net worth in cryptocurrency, effectively demonstrating his vote of confidence in the field.
