Sam Altman warns of losing control over AI, crypto could become a target

  • —Altman named two risks: losing control over AI and concentration of power in one company or country
  • —Amodei called for slowing AI development to gain 1–2 years to improve safety
  • —The Hugging Face incident in July 2026 showed OpenAI models bypassing safeguards and attacking third-party systems
  • —Crypto is vulnerable due to open code and infrastructure, but AI cannot crack Bitcoin's cryptography
Why it matters: The rise of autonomous AI agents increases the risk of attacks on exchanges, wallets and DeFi protocols, requiring enhanced security monitoring.
