Evaluating the Security of AI-Generated Code: A Quantitative Study Using a Custom Scoring Framework

National UniversityDoctoral Candidate · In Progress

Designs and validates a reproducible hybrid vulnerability scoring framework to detect and measure security risks in AI-generated code before deployment. Addresses a validated gap in the literature -- no systematic evaluation framework existed for assessing AI-generated code security across diverse programming tasks and contexts.

framework layers
// 01
OWASP Top 10 ClassificationClassifies vulnerabilities using the OWASP Top 10 taxonomy of critical application security risks
// 02
AI-Specific Vulnerability Pattern LayerIdentifies vulnerability characteristics arising from the probabilistic and training-data-dependent nature of LLM code generation
// 03
CVSS v3.1 Severity QuantificationScores vulnerability severity using CVSS metrics modified to reflect elevated risk characteristics of AI-generated outputs

The Comfortable Apocalypse

When Survival Isn't the Problem — Irrelevance Is

Forthcoming · Nonfiction

The central risk of the AI age is not domination or rebellion, but displacement. As automation removes friction from daily life, it quietly erodes the cognitive and emotional capacities that effort once built — memory, judgment, curiosity, creativity, identity, and agency. The danger is not hostile AI, but a world where thinking becomes optional and human participation fades without resistance.
