The Risks Of Ai-Generated Code Are Real — Here’S How Enterprises Can Manage The Risk

Join our daily and weekly newsletters for the latest updates and exclusive content on industry-leading AI coverage. Learn MoreNot that long ago, humans wrote almost all application code. But that’s no longer the case: The use of AI tools to write code has expanded dramatically. Some experts, such as Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, expect that AI will write 90% of all code within the next 6 months.Against that backdrop, what is the impact for enterprises? Code development practices have traditionally involved various levels of control, oversight and governance to help ensure quality, compliance and security. With AI-developed code, do organizations have the same assurances? Even more importantly, perhaps, organizations must know which models generated their AI code.Understanding where code comes from is not a new challenge for enterprises. That’s where source code analysis (SCA) tools fit in

Sonar To Acquire Tidelift To Reduce Risk From Open Source Software

Geneva-based Sonar has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Tidelift, a provider of software supply chain security solutions that help organizations manage the risk of open source software. The acquisition will extend Sonar’s scope of coverage to include open source libraries, in addition to code written by developers and AI.With more than 90% of software built using open source components, evaluating open source risks is critical to the sustainability and security of organizations’ applications. Tidelift helps improve the health and security of open source by paying the maintainers behind thousands of the world’s most-relied-upon open source projects to follow industry-leading secure software development practices. Paid open source maintainers are 55% more likely to implement critical security and maintenance practices than unpaid maintainers. Sonar analyzes all code, regardless of who writes it—an internal team or genAI—resulting in more secure, reliable, and maintainable software. Rooted in the open source community, Sonar’s solutions support over 30 programming languages, frameworks, and infrastructure technologies
