AI can generate code - but it still needs human review

While AI can generate a significant amount of code, and do so far faster than humans can, that doesn't mean that it can be blindly trusted. In this episode, I discuss a study from 2025 which investigates how code security tends to change (and not always positively) when it's iteratively worked on by AI tools.

It's an extremely insightful study, one that clearly shows that AI-generated code needs to be regularly reviewed and that humans still need to be in the loop of software development. So, for a rolling (and somewhat meandering) discussion of the study, join me in this episode, and hear what three researchers have to say about AI code generation.
