Do Users Write More Insecure Code with AI Assistants?

Perry, Neil, Megha Srivastava, Deepak Kumar, and Dan Boneh. "Do Users Write More Insecure Code with AI Assistants?" Proceedings of the 2023 ACM SIGSAC Conference on Computer and Communications Security (CCS). https://doi.org/10.1145/3576915.3623157.

Why this matters here

Perry, Srivastava, Kumar, and Boneh's CCS 2023 study finds that users assisted by AI coding tools produce more insecure code, linked to over-reliance and reduced scrutiny of plausible output. Coupling reads that as accept-all culture severing feedback: generated work that feels familiar lowers the review that would re-bind authorship to operational consequence.
