""The sheer amount of code being delivered, and the increase in vulnerabilities, is something they can't keep up with," Klippert told the NYT. The accelerated output created a "lot of stress" in other departments, like sales and marketing support, she added."
"One financial services company, for example, saw its coding output increase tenfold after embracing the popular AI tool Cursor - creating an epic backlog of one million lines of code that needs to be reviewed, according to Joni Klippert, CEO of the security startup StackHawk."
"We're now at an interesting inflection point of AI's impact in the workplace. It's been used to justify whittling down workforces across the globe, with one report finding that AI was cited in the announcements of more than 54,000 layoffs last year."
"Yet, at the same time that jobs are being eliminated, AI is also creating more work that would be best done by another human. Someone has to test the AI code, and traditionally it'd be the guy who wrote it."
Corporations are rapidly adopting AI to generate code, resulting in a significant increase in coding output. This surge has created a backlog of code that programmers struggle to manage. The rise in AI-generated code raises concerns about security vulnerabilities, as seen in disruptions at major companies like Amazon and Meta. While AI is being used to justify workforce reductions, it simultaneously creates additional work that requires human oversight, particularly in testing the AI-generated code.
