Agentic AI is becoming part of the crypto security workforce: Certik
CertiK said AI agents are now being used in crypto security work that previously sat with human analysts, including investigating threats, tracing funds, and handling security incidents with limited human input. The same report also places these systems in financial-crime work, where they can gather evidence, act in live environments, and review results. One item adds that humans still retain accountability for mistakes even when AI traces stolen crypto.
