Smart contract and Auditor developers told Cointelegraph that using artificial intelligence use in programming will make crypto safer despite earlier reports suggesting that AI-Generated Code may introduce new security risks.
One November 2024 Report Through the Center for Security and Emerging Technology it has warned that Ai-Assisted Programming can damage cybersecurity. The paper suggests that AI develops an insecure code, and the models themselves are vulnerable to attacks and manipulation.
Researchers also noted that the formed code may have the effects of the flow by finishing the codebases that the AI future is trained. “Our test results show that almost half of the code snippets made by five different models contain bugs,” they said.
A separate one Study In July 2024 a 180-task benchmark developed 44 types of weaknesses and found that state-of-the-art AIS had a median secure-code pass-rate of under 35%. Despite this, crypto smart contract and auditor developers suggest that Ai-Assisted Coding will lead to a safer crypto ecosystem.

Ai Augment, but did not replace the developers
Developers interviewed by Cointelegraph said AI tools were used to supplement, non -exchange, programmers.
The 0xaw, the Pseudonymous lead developer at the Base Decentralized exchange, alien base, told Cointelegraph that he uses AI “Most as a tool to get quick reference checks on how to do something.”
0xaw said he was using AI to produce a “cookie-cutter” code. He acknowledged that in recent models, he began “until the idea of letting it make fast code hygiene checks.” “It works now for a really obvious thing,” he said.
Anton Holovchenko, a senior blockchain developer in Hacken, told Cointelegraph that he was using the cursor, a combined development environment with AI features, for his work. He uses it for auto-completing and temptings to “explain which type of contract you need, and that’s it.”
However, Holovchenko noted that the programmer should adjust the code for their needs and fix the AI mistakes. He has shown that he uses AI for completing, not vibe coding -a new term that often refers to letting go of the AI code independently, with limited human administration.

AI is usually in intelligent contract programming
0xaw said that all he knew was using AI for programming “in some size, but usually as an auxiliary tool.”
He said AI tools are great time saving for senior programmers, but usually “too improperly to do all the work itself.”
Mike Tiutin, Blockchain Architect and chief technology official in Crypto Forensics firm Amlbot, told Cointelegraph that the proliferation of AI use is “quite high.”
Holovchenko said “almost every developer” he knows that uses some AI tools, with the most reliant on chatgpt and cursor.
AI is expected to improve web3 security
Holovchenko added that he believes that the proliferation of Ai-Assisted Programming will lead to higher quality code when in the hands of competent programmers:
“If you are the only vibe coding or delegation of excess to AI, you will only see at the end of the AI ‘answer’ Your code is safe now, ‘and you believe that because you do not know how to cod and your code can be safe. In my opinion can increase the quality of the code but in pairs only to someone who understands coding.”
0xaw said he noticed a trend of “junior devs using AI and thinks it can do everything for them” – often with bad results. However, he believes that the use of AI in Web3 programming is “well” because the “wise developing contract requires so much trial and refinement” that the bugs that have been corrected before deployment.
Instead, he raised concerns that junior developers may not develop in old -fashioned roles if they rely on AI tools.
Tiutin believes AI tools will lead to “more protocols with stronger baseline security – meaning fewer mistakes.” He hopes that AI has led to the cost of the cost of smart companies in contracting without affecting the price, as the sale is the reputation of the auditing firm, not the audit itself.
“Audits are more about sharing responsibility than actual contract security,” he said.
