The title is pretty self explanatory, but will opensource software become less and less safe compared to “big company software”, as big companies gain access to more and more advanced AI to test for their vulnerabilities? Or even malicious actors gaining access to more advanced AI, able to break into opensource software made by a small team easier? Should a privacy oriented person then stay away from such software?
And, yes … I’m tired of AI, AI, and more AI.


If it’s open-source that uses AI to help write or “enhance” code rather than just scan it for problems, then the answer might be yes: https://www.coderabbit.ai/blog/state-of-ai-vs-human-code-generation-report Otherwise, if you keep up with your patches then hopefully in the long term no.
