You seem to be under the impression that AI is a good tool for finding undiscovered security bugs. It's not. It's a crapshoot that requires a ton of extra effort to verify. Using it to find bugs wastes time and has a high risk of side-effects, given that AI has no understanding and thus cannot know if an issue is important, if fixing it has unwanted implications, or if there even is one at all. And if you're going to try to solve that with human supervision, then you may as well just have the human do the review to begin with and leave the AI out of it.
