The Future of AI Cryptanalysis

A series of posts by Matthew Green has expressed pessimism about the potential of AI systems to outperform humans in cryptanalysis. The posts specifically mention the impact on symmetric and public-key ciphers. However, the author of this piece is more optimistic than Green, citing the tendency of cryptographers to over-engineer as a reason for their faith. The author plans to write a more detailed explanation of their perspective. The topic at hand is the future of AI cryptanalysis and its potential effects on cryptography. The author's optimism is in contrast to Green's pessimistic views on the matter.
