Lovable's CISO on soft guardrails, shared responsibility on an AI development platform, and what GRC engineering looks like when the attackers are AI-powered too.
The distinction that matters here is whether auto-fix runs by default or the builder still has to flip the toggle, since that's the same decision point that killed the original fix-it button. If it's still opt-in, the fear of breaking something didn't go away, the platform just moved the choice one screen earlier. The number I'd want from Lovable isn't "we shipped an auto-fix toggle," it's the percentage of scanned apps that currently have it turned on. That tells you whether they solved the adoption problem or just relabeled it.
This mirrors what I see with Indian professionals rushing to build with AI tools—Copilot, Lovable—without any security training. The breach cost lands on them personally, and it's the same late-start problem as retirement planning: they assume the tool will cover it.
Security literacy is now a financial planning issue, not just an IT one.
