Swan Founder Flags AI as a Nearer Bitcoin Security Risk Than Quantum
Edited by Steinar Vigdel Kolnes, Editor, Oslo
Swan Bitcoin’s founder says AI tools could help hackers identify and exploit software vulnerabilities more easily than before.
The founder of Swan Bitcoin has warned that artificial intelligence may pose a more immediate security challenge to Bitcoin than quantum computing.
According to the remarks reported by Cointelegraph, attackers can use large language models to search for security weaknesses and develop potential exploits with only a small number of prompts.
The warning shifts attention from longer-term concerns about quantum computers potentially challenging cryptographic systems toward AI tools that are already widely accessible.
The comments focus on AI-assisted hacking rather than suggesting that Bitcoin’s underlying cryptography has been compromised.
