Why AI coding is widening the software security gap
CybersecurityComputer Science
THE AI ANGLE
Generating code with security vulnerabilitiesAI tools produce about half of all committed code in adopting organizations. This code compiles reliably, but forty-four percent of generation tasks introduce security vulnerabilities. Engineers must now test AI output for contextual flaws before merging it into production.
THE TEACHING ANGLE
Code generated by AI passes syntax checks easily while frequently failing tests for cross-site scripting and log injection.Read the original at techradar.com Generate teaching or study materials
