Hi Rahul,
When you qualify a quality gate for AI Code Assurance, sonar is not doing any special checks on such gates. The gate is enforced. But displays an AI Code assurance badge to recognize that an appropriate standard qualified by the organization is applied.
How detection of AI code works:
SonarQube checks if Copilot usage and code checkin is correlatable. If yes, Sonarqube flags the project as presence of AI code detected. Please note that this feature is deprecated in SonarQube Server 2026.1. This feature will be removed in a later release.
We will share more information on new features and changes regarding AI Code Assurance soon.
