Bitcoin Core Tightens Its Rules as AI Uncovers Vulnerabilities

Bitcoin Core changes its way of handling certain vulnerabilities because of artificial intelligence. Developers now acknowledge that a bug can be so easy to find that a simple prompt sent to an AI model is sometimes enough. In this case, keeping the flaw secret for several months no longer really protects users. Bitcoin Core prefers to fix faster and publish the security notice at the same time. No new critical Bitcoin bug is announced. It is the defense policy that evolves. The change was announced by Antoine Poinsot, Bitcoin Core developer. It adds a new category to the security policy: “easily discoverable” vulnerabilities. The decision comes a few days after the release of Bitcoin Core 32.0, already audited with the help of AI models . The principle is quite simple.
