Artificial intelligence has notorious problems with accuracy — so maybe it's not surprising that using it as a coding assistant creates more security problems, too.

As a security firm called Apiiro found in new research, developers who used AI produce ten times more security problems than their counterparts who don't use the technology.

Looking at code from thousands of developers and tens of thousand repositories, Apiiro found that AI-assisted devs were indeed producing three or four times more code — and as the firm's product manager Itay Nussbaum suggested, that breakneck pace seems to be causing the security gaps.

"AI is multiplying not one kind of vulnerability," Nussbaum wrote, "but all of them at once."

Ironically, some of the "benefits" of AI coding appear to be the vehicles fo
