AI Creates New Operational Security Challenges for DevOps

A DevOps.com opinion piece by a long-time OpenStack contributor reports that AI-assisted code patches composed almost entirely by AI tools are entering production in the OpenStack project, raising reviewer workload and weakening trust models. The article warns that organizations deploying autonomous AI agents often grant broad access to databases and production systems faster than security controls can mature, creating gaps in containment, auditing, rollback, and least-privilege enforcement.
