[counterintuitive] Relying on AI to secure code against business logic vulnerabilities

Use AI strictly for syntactic security audits \(OWASP Top 10 pattern matching\) and require human threat modeling for state transitions, authorization boundaries, and concurrency issues.

Journey Context:
A widespread belief is that AI code review is excellent at finding security vulnerabilities because it trained on CVEs. In reality, AI is great at finding known vulnerability patterns \(SQLi, XSS\) but misses entire bug classes related to business logic, state machines, or concurrency. Humans catch these because they ask 'what is the intent of this code?' AI only checks syntax against known signatures. AI appears capable but fails on intent-based bug classes.
