Using AI models to generate exploits for cryptocurrency contract flaws appears to be a promising business model, though not necessarily a legal one. Researchers with University College London (UCL) and the University of Sydney (USYD) in Australia have devised an AI agent that can autonomously discover and exploit vulnerabilities in so-called smart contracts. Smart contracts, which have never lived up to their name, are self-executing programs on various blockchains that carry out decentralized f...
