Smart contract devs think AI code will make crypto safer despite vibe coding fears
Main Idea
AI-assisted coding is becoming prevalent in crypto smart contract development, with developers using it as a tool to improve efficiency and security, though concerns remain about over-reliance and potential risks.
Key Points
1. AI-assisted coding is improving crypto security, but a November 2024 report warns it may introduce new vulnerabilities and create a negative cybersecurity feedback loop.
2. A July 2024 study found state-of-the-art AIs had a median secure-code pass-rate of under 35%, highlighting ongoing security concerns.
3. Developers use AI for tasks like quick reference checks, auto-completions, and templating, but emphasize the need for manual adjustments and oversight.
4. AI is widely used in smart contract programming, with tools like ChatGPT and Cursor being common, but it is seen as an assistant rather than a replacement for developers.
5. Experts believe AI can improve Web3 security by reducing careless mistakes, but junior developers' over-reliance on AI may lead to poor results.
Description
Despite concerns from earlier research, smart contract developers and auditors told Cointelegraph that AI-assisted coding is improving crypto security.
