Vitalik Buterin backs warning that AI could threaten crypto wallets before quantum computers do

Cointelegraph reports that Ethereum researcher Justin Drake urged a gradual move to addresses with unexposed public keys, warning AI could break wallet signatures before quantum computers arrive. Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin said AI could also weaken some quantum-resistant cryptography but warned against rushed wallet moves. CoinDesk says no practical attack on Bitcoin or Ethereum wallet keys has been demonstrated; Coinbase cryptography head Yehuda Lindell says there is no evidence elliptic-curve cryptography is close to failing.
