Artificial intelligence (AI) is all anyone can talk about. With the advent of Generative AI (GenAI) and large language models (LLM), the capabilities of AI extend far beyond automation and data analysis, practically requiring a Ph.D. in data science to permeate all aspects of technology, business and daily life.

GenAI is seen as a game-changer for software developers trying to write ever-increasing amounts of code in shorter and shorter timeframes. GitHub Copilot, Amazon Code Whisperer, Tabnine, and similar tools can now create AI-generated code from simple prompts, and save developers immense amounts of time. These tools excel at expediting common coding tasks but can introduce security vulnerabilities that might have been present in the training data used for the LLMs.
