AI-era security requires firms to rewrite software code so agents can patch, Jassy says

Amazon CEO Andy Jassy said companies should rewrite almost all software code so agents can handle it, because AI models can find far more vulnerabilities than humans. He said current processes, in which people classify flaws and create patches, cannot keep pace with the speed of AI discovery due to complex system dependencies. Jassy said patch deployment must be completed within minutes and warned firms without agent-updatable applications will struggle.

Ethereum quantum-resistance direction takes shape as Buterin and Zcash co-founder align

As debate grows over Ethereum’s shift to quantum-resistant cryptography, Vitalik Buterin (비탈릭 부테린) and Zcash co-founder Eli Ben-Sasson (엘리 벤사손) have backed a hash-based approach. The emerging concept is to design the core consensus around hash-based signatures and proof aggregation, while allowing lattice cryptography at the account and wallet layer if its security is proven. The discussion was sparked after a16z crypto questioned reliance on recursive SNARK structures.
