Generative AI accelerates software development by automating repetitive tasks and generating code quickly, freeing developers to focus on complex problems. However, it introduces risks such as hidden vulnerabilities, supply chain compromises, and even malicious use by attackers. Tools like ChatGPT can produce flawed or misleading code, making human oversight and rigorous testing essential. Security teams must validate AI outputs, enforce access controls, and protect sensitive data to prevent breaches and compliance violations. When combined with proper safeguards, AI boosts productivity, reduces code duplication, and enables higher-quality applications without sacrificing security.
