Panel argues application security must adapt to non-deterministic AI-infused apps where models change runtime behavior, not just scan outputs. Concrete changes reported: DAST triage is auto-triaged DAST via Claude agent with tickets auto-created, cloud code and agent/skill hooks enforce post-generation checks, and Opus model shifts reintroduce basic SQL injection in generated PRs. Predictions include bug bounty entry shrinks as low-hanging bugs get scooped and secure-by-default libraries plus evals become the decisive controls.
