## AI overview

The article examines how technology leaders in Australia and New Zealand are balancing generative AI adoption and faster software delivery with security concerns. It highlights risks from vulnerable AI-generated code, supply-chain exposure, and insufficient visibility, arguing for security checks that keep pace with AI-assisted development.

## Source excerpt

The pace of technological change is always fast, but with AI everywhere, things have gone into overdrive. In Australia and New Zealand, businesses plan to spend heavily on generative AI--about $15 million on average, more than the global average. This puts immense pressure on technology, security, and engineering leaders.
