Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong has revealed that nearly half of the exchange’s daily code output is now generated by artificial intelligence. The announcement has sparked both admiration and concern within the crypto and tech communities regarding security implications. Armstrong predicts AI will generate over 50% of Coinbase’s code by late 2025.
- Coinbase engineers were mandated to adopt AI development tools within one week, with employees resisting the directive being dismissed
- Security experts warn that AI-generated code could introduce vulnerabilities and 'miss relevant context' in critical financial infrastructure
- Despite concerns, some industry leaders predict 90% of high-quality code could be AI-generated within five years with proper review processes
