CertiK: AI agents now trace stolen crypto, but humans still own the mistakes
- —AI agents can pause a vulnerable contract within the same block window
- —86.29% of ETH stolen in the Bybit exploit was converted to Bitcoin within a month
- —CertiK says every agent must have a designated human owner
- —Recommended safeguards include audit trails, testing, and capped autonomy
Why it matters: Autonomous AI agents could shrink the response window after hacks, but they require strict oversight and clear human accountability.
