    How AI Will Save Prediction Markets

    Prediction markets, envisioned as powerful tools for aggregating information and predicting the future, are currently dominated by sports betting, with only a small fraction of volume dedicated to STEM topics. Companies like Kalshi and Polymarket, despite their potential for societal foresight, struggle to attract diverse market participation beyond gamblers and sports enthusiasts. Regulatory scrutiny and legal challenges in states like Nevada and Arizona highlight the ongoing debate about whether these platforms function as legitimate prediction tools or simply as gambling sites.

    Vitalik Buterin calls for the use of AI in formal verification of Ethereum code. Mathematical precision is to be the only effective defense against cyberattacks and the coming

    Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin has proposed using AI to enhance formal verification processes for cryptographic systems. This approach aims to ensure the security of crypto networks and smart contracts by mathematically proving the correctness of code in practice, not just in theory. Buterin suggests this could be a crucial defense against cyberattacks and future threats like quantum computing. AI
