No, AI did not break post-quantum cryptography
The paper by Ding, Nguyen, and Gong proposes using artificial intelligence to improve power analysis side-channel attacks on post-quantum cryptographic systems. While this approach does not fundamentally change the nature of such attacks or break any cryptographic schemes, it can increase their effectiveness in certain scenarios, such as when multiple traces are available. However, these improvements might not be sufficient to make real-world power side-channel attacks more feasible or dangerous than they already were.
