Artificial intelligence poses a more immediate threat to Bitcoin security than quantum computing, according to Swan Bitcoin founder Cory Klippsten, who warned that hackers are increasingly using AI to exploit vulnerabilities as crypto exchanges face a string of security breaches. Speaking on Cointelegraph’s Chain Reaction, Klippsten dismissed much of the concern surrounding quantum computing as speculative, arguing that advances in large language models present a more pressing challenge as attackers use the technology to probe security weaknesses.
