Security Now 1094: AI Patching Shortcomings

AI-generated code is flooding the industry, but researchers reveal that almost half of it contains critical vulnerabilities. This week, we unpack what happens when the race for automation outpaces security best practices. A possible means for preventing prompt injection abuse.

What did Claude make of last week's podcast? Could much better harnesses prevent prompt injection? A listener wants us to stop saying AI "thinks".
