Do Users Write More Insecure Code with AI Assistants?. (arXiv:2211.03622v2 [cs.CR] UPDATED)

We conduct the first large-scale user study examining how users interact with
an AI Code assistant to solve a variety of security related tasks across
different programming languages. Overall, we find that participants who had
access to an AI assistant based on OpenAI's codex-davinci-002 model wrote
significantly less secure code than those without access. Additionally,
participants with access to an AI assistant were more likely to believe they
wrote secure code than those without access to the AI assistant. Furthermore, …
