Why SAST is growing in importance in the age of AI-generated source code

AI-assisted coding is already widespread and is expected to grow to 65% of developer-produced code by 2027.

Studies report that AI-generated code contains about 1.7 times more bugs than human code and many developers use AI daily.

SAST tools scan source code for security issues and remain important because AI-generated code often mixes secure and insecure patterns.

Modern SAST tools use AI, integrate with copilots, and prioritize exploitable findings, making them compatible with vibe workflows.
