AI Coding: Do Security Risks Outweigh Productivity Gains?

The use of AI coding tools comes with a monthly cost per user ranging from $19 to $200. However, additional expenses related to security scanning, remediation, and handling false positives can also accrue. These hidden costs raise questions about whether the benefits of increased productivity outweigh the potential security risks associated with AI coding tools. The overall value of using these tools depends on weighing their productivity gains against their total cost, including security-related expenses.
