AI found an Ethereum bug that could take validators offline, but humans had to prove it

Ethereum's Foundation deployed AI to scrutinize its network's validator software, uncovering a potentially dangerous bug that could have taken validators offline. Despite the AI confidently identifying several issues, it mistakenly flagged some non-existent bugs as well. Ultimately, human experts were required to validate the findings and ensure the real bug was genuinely critical. This incident highlights the ongoing challenge of balancing AI's analytical power with human oversight in tech security, especially for critical systems like Ethereum's blockchain.
