futurism.com Unknown 2025-12-27 15:17:19

Back in April, the rental car company Hertz announced that it would be using UVeye, an AI damage scanning hardward and software system from a former defense contractor of the same name, to check its cars for damage after they were returned. It didn't take long for problems to arise. As our sister site The Drive reported last month, customers soon started complaining that Hertz was charging them hundreds of dollars for minor cosmetic scuffs that would have been shrugged off by a human employee,

The breach wasn't just a technical slip, rather it exposed critical flaws in how AI tools are integrated into software development pipelines. It's a moment of reckoning for the developer community, and one Amazon can't afford to ignore. The attacker was able to inject unauthorized code into the assistant's open-source GitHub rep
