Vitalik Buterin backs crypto ‘bunker mode’ amid rapid AI math advances
Ethereum co‑founder Vitalik Buterin has urged the crypto community to adopt a 'bunker mode' strategy as artificial‑intelligence systems rapidly improve their mathematical capabilities. He warns that AI could outpace human cryptographic research, potentially exposing vulnerabilities. Buterin suggests focusing on defensive measures, such as hardening protocols and limiting public exposure of sensitive code, to safeguard the ecosystem.
