AI Coding Assistants Create 10x More Security Vulnerabilities
A new study from Apiiro found that while AI assistants can quadruple developer speed, the resulting code contains a tenfold increase in security flaws.
The Productivity-Risk Paradox
A new study from the application security firm Apiiro, published around September 5, 2025, has quantified a major dilemma in the adoption of AI for software development. The research found that while AI coding assistants can dramatically increase developer speed, this productivity comes at a significant security cost. The study, which analyzed code from Fortune 50 enterprises, revealed a "productivity-risk paradox" that challenges how organizations approach AI integration.
The research found that developers using AI coding assistants produced code up to four times faster than their peers who were not using the tools. This increase in …
