Bitcoin Core Revises Bug Disclosure Rules as AI Speeds Discovery
Edited by Steinar Vigdel Kolnes, Editor, Oslo
Bitcoin Core developers have changed their security policy to end months-long disclosure delays for flaws that AI chatbots could independently uncover.
Bitcoin Core developers have approved a change to their security disclosure policy, removing months-long embargoes for vulnerabilities that a chatbot could rediscover, according to CoinDesk.
The revision follows a summer in which AI systems identified hundreds of bitcoin bugs ahead of human researchers, the outlet reported.
The policy change narrows when developers will keep flaws confidential for an extended period, making the potential for independent AI discovery a factor in disclosure timing.
