AI writes working code 90% of the time, but secures it only a third as often

As Indian enterprises and IT services firms race to adopt AI coding tools, new independent research shows the technology’s security hasn’t kept pace with its ability to get the job done and in some cases, throwing more computers at the problem makes things worse.

AI coding assistants have gotten remarkably good at writing code that works. Whether that code is actually safe to ship is a different story and a new independent study finds the gap between the two is widening, not closing.

The findings come from Capability Without Security: Measuring the Functionality-Security Gap in AI-Generated Code, a first-of-its-kind study by Ilya Kabanov, independent researcher ,The Weather Report Inc., commissioned by application security firm Checkmarx. Checkmarx says it had no role in designing the study, running the tests, or shaping the conclusions; a separation the firm says was intentional, given how directly the results speak to its own market.
