## AI overview

The article argues that type systems and secure-by-design libraries can make many web application security vulnerabilities impossible to write or catch at compile time. It presents this approach as a way to reduce vulnerabilities in manually written and AI-generated code, with examples involving Rust, Python, and Trusted Types.

## Source excerpt

Secure-by-design types can turn common bugs into compile-time errors. This post explores how type-level security could help prevent entire classes of AI-generated vulnerabilities.
