Now what? - Jack Cable, Corridor **[AI Engineer](https://daily.dev/sources/aidotengineer)** · 19 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments ## Summary AI models are rapidly improving at finding and exploiting software vulnerabilities, while simultaneously being used to write more code — creating a dual threat. The talk argues that defenders must respond not just by patching individual bugs, but by making systemic changes like migrating critical open-source libraries to memory-safe languages like Rust. Data shows AI coding tools introduce vulnerabilities 20–40% of the time, often due to missing business logic context. The speaker recommends three policy priorities: preventing vulnerabilities in new AI-generated code, hardening the open-source foundation through rewrites rather than one-off patches, and fostering US-made open-weight models so defenders have access to the same capabilities as adversaries. Security guardrails integrated into the development pipeline — before the pull request — are presented as essential for enabling autonomous AI coding without sacrificing security. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
