Depends on the jurisdiction. Where I live, companies are not liable for insecure software, if sold to a private person for example. Enter huge botnets of crappy home routers. Hopefully this is going to change.
Yea, when their cyber insurance policies start biting them because AI found a bug months ago and it was never fixed I figure we'll start seeing a change.
With that said there are numerous companies that are very concerned about the situation. They know AI is finding bugs in their software at an accelerated rate, one they are having difficult times keeping up with because they want human understanding and review of the fixes to avoid introducing new bugs.
