- AI-assisted development is enabling teams to produce 10 to 50 times more code than before, per the source, while security teams still review vulnerabilities, manage dependencies, prioritize fixes, and control risk at human speed
- The security review bottleneck shifts the core problem beyond simply finding vulnerabilities once output scales by 10–50×, according to the source's framing
Why it matters: With code output scaling 10–50×, security teams reviewing at human speed face a backlog that expands the attack surface of every organization shipping AI-generated code, making review capacity the limiting factor in safe software delivery.
