Also, remember that “AI” means scripts in this context. We’ve used scripts to scan for vulnerabilities for decades. That alone is neither new nor scary.
There are serions issues with AI, including how you define it, but scanning code for weak points itself, on its own, is not one. It’s what you do with that data that matters.
Yes, but ai gives a lot of false positives. And when you see articles like this its hard to know if its a verified vurnebility or a potential vurnebility.
It was kind of the same with the old vurnebility test tools
Exactly.
AI is bad at a lot of things, but bug hunting isn’t one of them. It still requires an expert human to be effective but it lets them review a lot more code.
I’ve had mixed results. Sometimes it points me directly to the issue and sometimes it is just dumb as a rock.
