Emin Gün Sirer, founder of Avalanche, warns that the crypto industry is overly focused on AI breaking cryptography, while AI could first exploit existing software and wallet vulnerabilities. This concern follows Ethereum researcher Justin Drake's call to prepare for potential cryptographic risks due to AI accelerating mathematical breakthroughs. Sirer emphasizes that software bugs in networks like Ripple pose a more immediate threat, as AI can detect flaws humans might miss, potentially leading to billions in losses. While not dismissing cryptographic risks, Sirer urges prioritizing securing current code and exploring backup solutions, highlighting recent crypto losses and AI's ability to find critical vulnerabilities.
