An interesting observation that I encountered somewhere, I forget where, is that AIs when writing code introduce vulnerabilities at a rate similar to humans writing the same code. So we're looking at a massively accelerated volume of security vulnerabilities for the foreseeable future thanks to AI-assisted security research, and we can expect no reduction in new vulnerabilities from the AIs writing the code.

  In my experience it doesn’t matter if who wrote the code was AI or human as long as you run security reviews, including AI reviews. They are extremely good at finding issues before you ship. Just don’t expect the LLM to one shoot secure code, let an empty context AI reviewer explicitly check the change set for vulnerabilities.
