Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin recently wrote a post on AI and its crypto applications, which led to a price spike for ETH. Buterin has been discussing the benefits and drawbacks of artificial intelligence (AI) lately. He recently discussed the intersection between crypto and AI, outlining advantages, disadvantages, and possible applications.
Bug-fixing Assistance
A fresh post by Vitalik Buterin on February 19 expressed his enthusiasm for artificial intelligence. Formal verification of code and bug discovery with the help of AI is one application that he is quite enthusiastic about. Citing code errors as “Ethereum’s biggest technical risk pro” at the moment, he thinks AI will completely change the bug-fixing game.
Buterin stated:
“One application of AI that I am excited about is AI-assisted formal verification of code and bug finding. Right now ethereum’s biggest technical risk probably is bugs in code, and anything that could significantly change the game on that would be amazing.”
With the March 13 launch of Ethereum’s Dencun (Deneb and Cancun) upgrade Buterin is putting a lot of faith in Verkle trees. Staking nodes will be able to operate with practically minimal hard drive space and sync immediately, according to Buterin, who cited a website maintained by Ethereum Foundation developers as saying it would enable stateless validator clients. An improved user experience for solo staking will be provided by this.
The price of Ethereum quickly jumped above $2,900 today as per data from CoinMarketCap, reviving community interest in the cryptocurrency in the run-up to the Dencun upgrade.
