Vitalik Buterin Warns AI May Break Cryptography Within 2 Years

huggingnews.com

Vitalik Buterin warns that AI could weaken lattice-based cryptography, such as ML-DSA and FHE, within 2 years. To mitigate risks, the Ethereum Foundation is accelerating a shift toward hash-based signatures, and Buterin advises using a "bunker mode" approach involving unused addresses and off-chain multisig signing.
