In late 2023, more than half of organisations said they encountered security issues with poor AI-generated code 'sometimes' or 'frequently,' as per a survey by Snyk.
Companies are deploying AI-code generation tools more frequently, and the generated code is being put into production, causing outages and/or security issues.
In general, this is due to insufficient reviews, either because the company has not implemented robust code quality and code-review practices, or because developers are scrutinising AI-written code less than they would scrutinise their own code.
AI tools are not perfect at generating code... ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot, and Amazon CodeWhisperer generated correct code just 65.2%, 46.3%, and 31.1% of the time, respectively.
