SIG Report: AI-generated Code Is Linked To Twice The Security Risk And Rising Technical Debt

AI-supported coding has progressed from experimental to the norm in organizations, yet technical debt, security risks, and costs could be piling up much faster than anyone realizes.

This is one of the key takeaways from the Software Improvement Group (SIG) 2026 State of Software report, which analyzed more than 30,000 software systems and more than 400 billion lines of code. In other words, even though artificial intelligence is helping businesses to develop software more rapidly, software governance and quality management processes lag behind.

The report revealed that 90% of IT workers currently use AI on their jobs, with AI-produced code comprising 1.9% of corporate production code. While this figure might seem small, analysts have pointed out that production codebases comprise years of legacy code and that the percentage is therefore quite significant considering the number of deployments.
