Ethereum Co-Founder Vitalik Buterin Argues AI Is Undermining Crypto Security Assumptions as OpenAI and Anthropic Execs Express Concerns

Vitalik Buterin argues AI is undermining crypto security assumptions, stating that software bugs are now being discovered at scale and prior security premises no longer hold. He proposes defensive, decentralized acceleration (DAC) using open-source software, formal verification, and zero-knowledge proofs as alternatives to centralized security models. Buterin warned in October 2026 that AI-accelerated progress could erode lattice-based and elliptic-curve cryptography security within two years; OpenAI and Anthropic executives have similarly expressed concerns about advanced AI systems.
