Musk stated: AI can automatically attack exchanges and acquire cryptocurrency. He said: AI may eventually attack financial systems in the way the Binance hack did. But the difference is, these AIs are acquiring currency for themselves, not for others. Imagine an AI that can identify vulnerabilities, transfer funds, and execute attacks without anyone telling it what to do. The Binance incident may just be a preview of the security challenges we're about to face as AI becomes more autonomous; cryptocurrency security may soon face a completely different threat.
