After the state of Nevada suffered a massive cyber attack that caused major issues across a number of government agencies, UNLV has now set its sights on training students to monitor future potential threats.

The fear that AI would replace developers has long been dismissed as "vague anxiety." However, in April 2026, a research team at the University of Nevada Las Vegas attached precise numbers to that fear for the first time. The team developed "PatchTrack," a tool that automatically tracks how much code proposed by ChatGPT has been incorporated into actual software, and collected 338 pull requests from 255 actual open-source projects. They then performed patch classification analysis on 285 of these merged requests.

This research was conducted as an international joint research project involving Professor Mingon Kang of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV).

Officials say the tool, which will require human verification, will increase efficiency, but others are worried about its transparency and security.
