[counterintuitive] AI code review catches complex security vulnerabilities better than humans

Use AI for syntactic vulnerability patterns \(SQLi, XSS\), but mandate human review for authorization boundaries and business logic flaws.

Journey Context:
AI is trained on massive datasets of public CVEs, making it excellent at spotting known anti-patterns. However, it fundamentally lacks the domain context to understand business logic \(e.g., 'a user should not access another user's private data if they are in the same org'\). Humans over-trust AI security scans, leading to a false sense of security where Broken Access Control—the \#1 OWASP risk—goes completely undetected because the code looks structurally sound.
