Bitcoin quantum plan questioned after AI research
Share
- New AI research has raised questions about Bitcoin's plans to defend against quantum computing.
- Researchers found an AI system weakened one cryptographic algorithm in about 60 hours.
- The findings have renewed debate over how quickly Bitcoin should prepare for future quantum threats.
Researchers have raised fresh questions about Bitcoin (CRYPTO:BTC) and its long-term defence against quantum computing.
The debate followed research showing an AI system weakened one cryptographic algorithm in about 60 hours.
The research did not break Bitcoin's encryption or put the network at immediate risk.
Instead, it showed AI could speed up work on solving difficult cryptography problems.
Bitcoin developers are already discussing upgrades to protect the network from future quantum computers.
The new research suggests those plans may need to keep pace with both AI and quantum computing advances.
At the time of reporting, Bitcoin price was $63,987.34.
