Have there yet been reports of the AI writing code that has security bugs? Is that something folks are on the lookout for?

- natfriedman 5y agoI haven't seen any reports of this, but it's certainly something we want to guard against: https://copilot.github.com/#faq-can-github-copilot-introduce-insecure-code-in-its-suggestions https://copilot.github.com/#faq-can-github-copilot-introduce...
- peterburkimsher 5y agoHas there been an attempt to train a similar ML model on a smaller dataset of standards-compliant code? e.g. MISRA C. I started working at a healthcare company earlier this year, and my whole approach to software has needed to change. It's not about implementing features any more - every change to our embedded code requires significant unit testing, code review, and V&V. Having a standards-compliant Copilot would be wonderful. If it could catch some of my mistakes before I embarrass myself to code-reviewing colleagues, the codebase would be better off for it and I'd be less discouraged to hear those corrections from a machine than a person.
