Recent studies show large language models (LLMs) excel at finding zero-day vulnerabilities but still generate insecure code with frequent security flaws, limiting their usefulness for secure software development and patching.
This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of AI Frontier Models, Enterprise Software and Cybersecurity.
◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
You must not trust AI-generated code to be secure yet because it consistently leaves critical security issues unpatched. Focus on adding rigorous human review and specialised security tools alongside AI to avoid costly vulnerabilities.
