A report from Aikido reveals that AI-generated code is introducing serious security vulnerabilities, with nearly seven in ten organizations having discovered such flaws and one in five reporting major incidents. Responsibility for these issues is unclear, as it is split among security teams, developers, and vendors, and the growing reliance on automated tools is exacerbating the problem. As more junior coders depend on AI, crucial human expertise is being lost, raising concerns about “dumbing down” the developer workforce. CISOs warn that organizations should focus on basic security hygiene and critical thinking while resisting the temptation to trust AI blindly, as the technology can amplify existing mistakes if not managed carefully.
