Avalanche founder Emin Gün Sirer said in a recent post on X that artificial intelligence may eventually uncover previously unknown security flaws in blockchain systems such as the XRP Ledger. In his view, the crypto industry should pay closer attention to the risk of AI-driven attacks that exploit software bugs, rather than focusing only on the possibility of breakthroughs against cryptography itself.
Sirer said more advanced AI models could identify mistakes in blockchain software, libraries, and crypto wallets that are difficult for humans to detect. He warned that attackers might use those weaknesses to steal billions of dollars before AI is capable of breaking widely used cryptographic systems.
At the same time, Sirer did not point to any specific unpatched vulnerability in the XRP Ledger, nor did he show how AI could be used to attack the network. The report cited U.Today as the source of the remarks.
