AI labs said to probe whether models can break cryptographic protocols
AI summary
Theoretical computer scientist Omer Reingold, citing sources, says several AI labs have quietly begun testing whether their models can break important cryptographic protocols; Scott Aaronson relayed the claim on his Shtetl-Optimized blog with Reingold's permission. No labs are named, no protocols or results are specified, and the claim remains secondhand and unverified.
In-depth insight
If true, it would suggest frontier model capabilities are reaching the boundaries of cryptographic security — but the account is so far unverified and secondhand.
