Survey: AI Impact on Security
This appears to be the most widespread application of AI in software development, ahead of all others: The distribution of AI-generated code in production is fairly even, ranging from under 25% all the way up to 100%: The survey also included the option "0% (no AI-generated code in production)," but no one selected it. Security and quality are the biggest concerns Most respondents think AI usage may represent an additional risk: Surprisingly, cost seems to be the least of the concerns. This may be because we were asking engineering leaders; had we asked CEOs or CFOs, the results might have looked different: Engineering folks are mostly concerned about security, code quality, and losing understanding of the codebase.

Survey: AI impact on security Denis Stebunov July 21, 2026 | Estimated 3 minutes read Follow us: In June 2026, with the support of the amazing CTO Craft and Rands Leadership Slack communities, we surveyed engineering leaders from companies of all sizes to understand how they use AI and how it impacts security within their teams. Contents Audience Everyone writes production code with AI Security and quality are the biggest concerns The top mitigation tools are code reviews and security scanners Conclusion Audience We conducted the survey with dozens of engineering leaders from companies of all sizes, primarily across North America and Europe: Most companies launched their products before the rise of AI coding, but there are some newcomers, too: Most of the products these companies are…
