What Changes When Your Software Supply Chain Includes AI Writing Your Code?

The increasing use of AI tools in software development is significantly altering the landscape of software supply chain security. Traditionally, security focused on the code a team directly wrote, but now, AI-generated code, prompts, and the autonomous tools that pull in dependencies are introducing new attack vectors. This shift necessitates a fundamental change in how security programs are designed and implemented, focusing on tracing the lineage of AI-generated components and prioritizing vulnerabilities based on exploitability rather than simply volume.
