Vitalik warns: AI may threaten cryptographic security before quantum computing does!
People used to worry about one thing:
When will quantum computers break cryptography?
Now Vitalik is reminding everyone:
AI may solve mathematical problems first.
He recently said that AI-accelerated mathematical research could put existing cryptographic security assumptions under pressure sooner.
Lattice cryptography is particularly worth watching.
👉 Post-quantum schemes such as ML-DSA could also be affected
👉 Privacy-preserving technologies such as FHE may also be at risk
👉 ECDSA could also face challenges sooner than expected
👉 Vitalik believes lattice cryptography could come under serious threat within the next two years
But don't take this to mean:
“BTC and ETH wallets are about to become unsafe.”
Vitalik himself has also made it clear: don't rush to transfer your coins or migrate your wallets because of this news.
What’s really worth paying attention to is this:
AI is gradually moving beyond “helping people write code” to helping people research mathematics, find vulnerabilities, and challenge cryptographic assumptions.
We used to worry that cryptography couldn't withstand quantum computing.
Now we may need to consider another factor:
Could AI find vulnerabilities in cryptography before quantum computing does?
This may be an issue the entire crypto industry can't avoid in the coming years.
