To evaluate the legal risks of using AI generated code, let’s consider how many lawsuits there have been over these concerns.

Inadvertent copyleft license violations: probably 0 lawsuits

Competitor copied your software, you could not defend your rights in court because it was made with AI: probably also 0

Users of agentic AI for software development: >10 million

The thinking here seems pretty clear to me.

This is a terrible take. Complex litigation takes longer to play out than the time span that agents have existed.
