Researchers Assess AI for Detecting Security Vulnerabilities
Researchers from Salus Security have conducted tests on GPT-4 and other artificial intelligence systems to evaluate their capability in identifying seven common security vulnerabilities.
GPT-4’s Role in Smart Contract Auditing
A pair of researchers from Salus Security, a blockchain security company with offices across North America, Europe, and Asia, recently released a study highlighting GPT-4’s proficiency in parsing and auditing smart contracts. While artificial intelligence demonstrates effectiveness in code generation and parsing, it is not recommended as a substitute for a security auditor.

Limitations and Future Prospects
According to the paper, although GPT-4 can serve as a valuable tool for assisting in smart contract auditing, particularly in code parsing and offering vulnerability indications, it is not equipped to entirely replace professional auditing tools and experienced auditors. This underscores the importance of human oversight in security assessments.
