AI Is Writing More Code Than Ever. So, why is Software Quality Getting Worse?

AI coding tools have boosted developer velocity dramatically, but AI-generated pull requests carry 1.7x more defects and 2.74x more security flaws than human-written code. Legacy CI/CD pipelines weren't built for AI-scale output, creating a dangerous quality gap. Organizations need AI-native QA systems with dynamic testing, automated orchestration, and execution-safe runtimes — or risk trading short-term speed for long-term production failures.
