AI Coding: Do Security Risks Outweigh Productivity Gains?

AI coding tools offer productivity improvements but introduce hidden security and operational costs through required scanning, remediation efforts, and false positive management. Organizations must evaluate whether the $19 to $200 monthly per-user expense justifies both the security overhead and the productivity benefits.

Why it matters: Development teams and security leaders adopting AI coding assistants need to account for the true cost of ownership, including security testing and remediation workflows, when budgeting and assessing ROI on these tools.
