According to McKinsey, developers using AI are twice as productive as those without. Although some enterprises will see this as a potential quick win for their developer team, it's important to realize that the benefit of AI can only be unlocked safely with the right upskilling in security best practices.
Blindly trusting AI to do work by itself, even with good prompt engineering, doesn’t ensure code quality. For instance, take an AI-generated image of a person: it may look convincing at first glance, but look closer and you might notice that there are slightly more fingers or ears than there really should be. AI-generated code has similar issues. It may work, and even stand up to surface-level scrutiny… but look a little closer and the cracks start to emerge, potentially revealing vulnerabilities.
