AI-generated Code Search
2025-06-18 , February Breakout Room

GenAI is everywhere!
Can we determine if source code has been AI-generated?
Does this even matter, and what are the implication for open source?
How to make this detection work?


The NGI Search-funded "AI-generated code search" project is an open source solution to help determine if source code may have been AI-generated.

AI-generated code search has been integrated in the open source AboutCode stack and to significantly enhance software supply chain due diligence, including legal and security compliance.

In this presentation, you will find out the why and how AI-generated code detection can be made to work, what are the legal and ethical implications of GenAI for open source, and how this detection works in practice, including a live demo.
