The Benefits And Risks Of Using AI Tools In Software Development
ITWire, Monday, September 22nd, 2025
The process of software development is undergoing a period of expedited change. Thanks to massive advances in artificial intelligence (AI) technology, projects can be completed more rapidly and by people with little or no prior experience.
AI-assisted software development, known as 'vibe coding', is becoming increasingly popular within many organisations. Vibe coding involves users instructing AI tools using prompts given in plain English.
The evolution is opening up code development to a larger audience, while also lowering barriers such as time and cost. However, while this technology promises to usher in a new era of innovation, it also introduces a range of security concerns.
