The blockchain industry is experimenting with using artificial intelligence (AI) for smart contract security. While AI-based blockchain audits have potential, they lack qualities such as intuition, nuanced judgment, and subject expertise. OpenZeppelin conducted experiments using OpenAI's GPT-4 model to identify vulnerabilities in Solidity smart contracts, with mixed results. Collaboration between human security professionals and constantly improving AI tools will likely be the future of smart contract security. The combined efforts of AI and blockchain have many positive solutions beyond cybersecurity, including Mariko Wakabayashi's AI system that has detected over $300 million in blockchain hacks in real-time.
