Buterin says AI-run crypto governance a ‘bad idea’ due to jailbreaks
Vitalik Buterin has warned against AI in crypto governance after ChatGPT’s latest update was shown to be exploited to leak private data.
Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has warned against crypto projects using artificial intelligence for their governance process, as malicious actors could exploit the technology.
“If you use an AI to allocate funding for contributions, people WILL put a jailbreak plus ‘gimme all the money’ in as many places as they can,” Buterin said in a Saturday X post.
Buterin was responding to a video from Eito Miyamura, the creator of the AI data platform EdisonWatch, which showed a new function added on Wednesday to OpenAI’s ChatGPT could be exploited to leak private information.
