AI Bug Flood Strains Maintainers

Modern AI bug‑finding models are surfacing vastly more vulnerabilities than prior tooling, producing record months of patches at major vendors and daily review volumes for open‑source maintainers. The result is triage pressure, reviewer burnout, and a shifting balance between disclosure speed and patch quality across critical infrastructure. — If AI forever changes how many flaws are found and who must fix them, it has big implications for cybersecurity strategy, software supply‑chain resilience, and the labor model for open‑source maintenance.
