Sam Altman's OpenAI unveils ‘EVMbench’ to test whether AI can keep crypto’s smart contracts safe

CoinDesk
OpenAI launched EVMbench, a new framework developed with Paradigm, to test AI's ability to secure smart contracts.

Summary

OpenAI has introduced EVMbench, a new testing framework developed in collaboration with crypto investment firm Paradigm, aimed at measuring how effectively artificial intelligence can understand and secure smart contracts on Ethereum and similar blockchains. Given that smart contracts are immutable once deployed and secure billions in assets, ensuring their safety is critical. EVMbench draws on real-world vulnerabilities found in security audits and competitions, measuring AI performance across three key areas: identifying security bugs, exploiting them safely, and fixing the vulnerable code without breaking the contracts. OpenAI states the goal is to establish a clear standard for evaluating AI systems in blockchain security, encouraging the defensive use of AI to audit and strengthen deployed contracts.
