Briefings
Cryptocurrency firms face a strategic dilemma as artificial intelligence lowers the cost of discovering security vulnerabilities. The evidence suggests a split between agile teams that actively hunt bugs and minimalist approaches that prioritize speed over thoroughness. This tension arises because AI tools can now identify flaws faster than human analysts, forcing companies to choose between rapid response and comprehensive security. The article does not specify which firms are involved or provide specific numbers, only stating the general trend of this strategic shift.
