THE AI ANGLE
Writing computer code with persistent security flawsA report found that vulnerabilities in AI-generated code dropped from 44 percent to 38 percent. Most improvements occurred in basic pattern-matching flaws like cross-site scripting. Software teams must still run independent security testing before deploying generated code.
