Buterin, who says about 90% of his net worth is in cryptocurrency, argues against the view that AI-enabled hacking dooms cybersecurity. He contends AI could prove programs secure as mathematical theorems, though precise definitions of "secure" are complex and can span over a thousand lines of code. He notes definitions are additive while code is not, and says entire programs, including databases and networking layers, must now be verified. He describes this as Ethereum's direction, arguing blockchains with scalability and privacy have no future without genuinely secure software.
