## AI overview

This opinion article argues that AI-generated code and dependencies are entering software environments faster than traditional security review processes can handle, while AI also accelerates vulnerability discovery and attacks. It concludes that reactive scanning and patching alone are insufficient and emphasizes trusted inputs for software supply-chain security.

## Source excerpt

AI is accelerating code and attacks. Learn why patching alone can't keep up, and why securing the software supply chain starts with trusted inputs.
