Vitalik Buterin Downplays AI Threat to Bitcoin
Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has weighed in on the topic of AI posing a threat to Bitcoin's security, dismissing claims made by Silicon Valley investor Liron Shapira that AI could break Bitcoin's proof-of-work or hashes and cause a 50% price drop within two years.
Buterin stated that the chances of AI breaking Bitcoin's security are 'very small' and expressed confidence in blockchain cybersecurity. He also noted that network issues can be fixed through upgrades without needing social consensus.
