That\u2019s why our next Visual Assist release introduces <\/span><b>safe C++ code inspections<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a first step of many in helping C++ teams secure and protect their code.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 500;\">Putting AI to the test<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Like everyone else, we\u2019re researching how AI can <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">genuinely <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">help <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">real <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">developers. In our view, bolting on a new chatbot barely earns a passing mark and doesn\u2019t add much value.
