Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin pushed back on claims that AI will wreck cybersecurity. According to Buterin, advances in artificial intelligence don't mean mass hacks are inevitable—in fact, the same tech can actually beef up system defenses.

AI as a Code Security Tool

Buterin argues that AI can do more than just spot vulnerabilities—it could even mathematically prove a program's security by analyzing entire codebases. He thinks this approach could make critical infrastructure way more reliable and cut down on costly mistakes.

This is exactly where Ethereum plans to focus over the next few years. Buterin stresses that without stronger security, scalable and privacy-focused blockchains "have no future." It's a top priority for the ecosystem.

Buterin also revealed he's still holding about 90% of his wealth in crypto, showing he’s got long-term conviction in the industry’s future.
