# Highlight Clip: Vitalik Buterin: Ethereum’s Remaining Roadmap Could Take 20 Years Without AI

Vitalik Buterin: Ethereum's Remaining Roadmap Could Take 20 Years Without AIOn Nov 4, 2026, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin told Moneycontrol that lean Ethereum is a set of upgrades Ethereum will push over the next few years, aiming to use zero-knowledge proofs and AI as widely as possible. He said such techniques were once kept in the application layer because the base layer carried too much risk, but the technology has now matured. With AI, he added, they can move much faster, especially AI-assisted formal verification that checks whether new code is safe.
