Direct copy and pasted code is in every project. This surge has left compliance teams in a quandary, contending with a flood of work from high false positives and scrambling for automation to handle the repetitive but critical license verification tasks. Threatrix emerges as the definitive ally for overwhelmed compliance departments and the bridge between them and development teams. Our platform offers a solution and a revolution—a tool independently verified with a 99% accuracy rate in snippet matching, reducing the compliance workload and significantly lowering false positives.

As GitHub Copilot becomes more adept at generating code and documentation from a vast repository of open-source projects, questions arise regarding the compliance of generated code with the original licenses.

Integrating AI-generated code has become a game-changer in the ever-evolving landscape of software development. Insights from Scott Guthrie of Microsoft reveal that developers using tools like GitHub Copilot are 55% more productive, with a substantial portion of their code being AI-generated and unmodified. This burgeoning trend marks a pivotal moment for the industry, necessitating a new software development and compliance approach.

A notable issue with AI-generated code snippets is the absence of licensing information. When AI chat tools generate code, they don't include information about the licenses of the original code that inspired the snippet. When AI chat tools generate code, they don't include information about the licenses of the original code that inspired the snippet. It is unknown whether the generated code is open source, proprietary, or under some other licensing scheme. The AI does not know the origin or licensing details of the code it generates. It's merely predicting the most likely response based on its training.

As AI cements its role as a co-creator in software development, the challenge of ensuring compliance, particularly in licensing, becomes increasingly complex. This is where AICertify by Threatrix steps in, offering a sophisticated solution tailored to the needs of the new era. Threatrix ensures that organizations can embrace AI-generated code while maintaining compliance, efficiency, and innovation. In this new era, AICertify isn’t just a tool; it’s a strategic partner in navigating the exciting yet challenging world of AI-driven software development.

AICertify is designed to revolutionize how developers approach compliance in an AI-augmented environment. AICertify addresses these challenges by quickly detecting the code that puts companies at risk and enables quick resolution of legal accountability, serving as a critical line of defense against the complexities of AI-generated code plagiarism.
