Vlad Tenev argues that AI will enable mathematical proofs of code correctness, making cybersecurity defense-favoring despite AI-driven hacking threats. He contends that formal security definitions, though complex, represent a smaller attack surface than implementations and can be additively combined, making them tractable for verification with better tooling.
Vitalik Buterin argues that cybersecurity is defense-favoring and that AI advances will help prove program security mathematically, making cryptocurrency holdings a sound bet. He emphasizes that rigorous security definitions are more tractable than scanning code directly and that defining security properties is critical for cryptographic systems, messaging protocols, and other security-critical components.
