Vitalik Buterin discusses the potential of AI-assisted formal verification in secure software development, particularly for Ethereum smart contracts. He argues that AI could make formal verification easier to use, allowing developers to prove more things before contracts interact with real money. This could significantly reduce the risk of bugs and errors in smart contracts.
