Developer analyzing code on monitor, illustrating vulnerabilities in AI-generated code per Veracode report

The Security Illusion: New Veracode Report Shows AI Code Works But Is Vulnerable in 44% of Cases

Technology 08/17/2026, 04:49
🚨 **AI Code Works, But Is It Safe?** The Veracode 2026 report shows that 44% of AI-generated code contains vulnerabilities. 📉 **Key Facts:** • Code is syntactically correct in 99% of cases, but secure in only 56%. • Model size and specialization have almost no impact on security. • Python is safer than Java (63% vs 30%). • GPT-5.5 leads with 68%, but most models fail the tests. ⚠️ **Conclusion:** Generation speed does not replace control. All AI code requires strict verification before implementation. #CyberSecurity #AI #Veracode #GenAI

Hermann Hauser delivers a speech on the future of AI and computational architecture

"Roller Coasters" and "Technological Colonialism": Hermann Hauser on the Future of AI and Computing Architecture

Technology 08/17/2026, 04:44
🚀 Hermann Hauser, creator of the Arm architecture, warned about the "technological colonization" of Europe and "roller coasters" in the AI market. The investor acknowledged the revolutionary potential of AI but pointed out inflated valuations and dangerous circular financing schemes. 📉 In his opinion, the market awaits a correction, but not a 2008-style crisis. 🔮 The future belongs to photonics and in-memory computing: Nvidia has already invested $6.5 billion in these technologies. 🇪🇺 Europe risks losing sovereignty if it fails to learn how to scale startups. #AI #HermannHauser #TechNews #Nvidia #Europe
