Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin said AI is starting to show serious hacking capabilities, including escaping sandboxes, attacking websites, and finding software vulnerabilities, during the OKX NOW event in Singapore. He also said the same technology is being used to help Ethereum identify flaws at both the protocol and application layers, while supporting formal verification work aimed at improving asset security and data privacy. Buterin’s remarks framed AI as both a security threat and a defensive tool. In his view, higher-level security protections will become critical because AI may be able to uncover any exploitable weakness inside a system. The comments were reported by Techub News and cited by WuBlockchain.
