Ethlabs posted a proposal on Ethereum Magicians for Ethereum to achieve what it calls post-quantum and AI security by 2027, under the label pqai27. Ethlabs argues that preparing for quantum threats alone is insufficient because AI could accelerate cryptanalysis and the discovery of software vulnerabilities.
Ethlabs recommends making pqai27 a top priority, reassessing the proposed Hegotá hard fork, and removing nonessential features such as quick slots from that plan. It would prioritize post-quantum paths for consensus and accounts, with pqai-scaled as a stretch goal. These are Ethlabs’ recommendations, not activated Ethereum changes or an agreed upgrade schedule.
