What Changes When Your Software Supply Chain Includes AI Writing Your Code?

The introduction of AI writing code into the software supply chain has added a new layer of complexity and risk. For years, the focus was on scrutinizing open-source packages and their dependencies to avoid vulnerabilities like those seen in SolarWinds and Log4Shell. Now, AI's involvement means that automated tools could inadvertently introduce security flaws or intellectual property issues that are harder to detect. This shift is significant because it not only raises the stakes for software security but also prompts a reevaluation of how we manage and verify code authenticity and integrity in the age of AI.
