Abdel Bakhta, who led Applied AI & Verifiable Intelligence at StarkWare, said he is leaving the company and moving into AI safety. In a post on X, Bakhta said AI safety had occupied much of his thinking over the past year and that he sees it as one of the most important challenges facing humanity. He added that mathematics and cryptography will have an important part in that work, which led him to make the shift. StarkWare co-founder Eli Ben-Sasson replied with support, saying he wished Bakhta well in his next chapter. Ben-Sasson also said he believes ZK STARK and Starknet will have a role in AI safety. The exchange points to a growing overlap between cryptographic systems and AI-related security research, as figures in the crypto industry increasingly discuss how zero-knowledge technology and related tools could be applied beyond blockchain infrastructure.
