"GitHub Copilot Gets 'Memory' Upgrade, Still Forgets to Write Secure Code"

In a bold move to make its AI coding tool, Copilot, slightly less terrible, GitHub is introducing an agentic memory system, because who needs human memory when you have AI-powered amnesia? Led by Tiferet Gazit, a principal machine learning engineer with a background in medical computer vision and deep learning, the project promises to revolutionize code security and quality, or at least make it less of a laughingstock. With the new system, Copilot will be able to learn from its mistakes and remember to write secure code, a feat that has eluded human developers for decades. The move is part of GitHub's broader efforts to make AI-powered coding tools that are actually useful, rather than just generating endless loops of "console.log('Hello World!')". As part of this initiative, GitHub has also announced the GitHub Security Lab Taskflow Agent, an open-source framework for security research with AI, because what could possibly go wrong with giving AI access to security research?
