'Whatever you try to fix breaks things even more': How to avoid the hidden dangers of AI code
AI has torn down the barriers to coding, making it as simple as describing what you want in plain English.Or at least, it can appear that way. It's about systems architecture, understanding how people will really use a platform, and ensuring the right measures are in place to limit vulnerabilities. I spoke with Gabriela Moreira, CEO of Quint, about how people using AI tools to write code can better understand the associated risks and put in place early checks and processes to limit unmaintainable code and catastrophic bugs.
