- It's looking like a hot, messy summer for security teams as AI finds countless previously hidden vulns
A coalition led by Chainguard, including companies like BNY, Cisco, and Cloudflare, is using AI to identify and patch vulnerabilities in open-source code. The group, Athena, has already processed 20,000 findings and developed 2,000 patches across 500 projects, warning of a 'messy summer' due to the scale of undiscovered flaws.
- AI is writing almost all startup code. That's creating a new problem.
AI tools like Anthropic's Claude Code are now the primary authors of startup code, enabling rapid development but introducing issues with code quality and maintainability. Founders report nearly all code at companies such as Alma and Chainguard is AI-generated, though concerns about 'slop' and bugs are growing.
