Bestselling SEO author and 19-year agency owner Damon Burton warns of growing security and legal risks tied to AI-generated websites and deployments.
Salt Lake City, UT (PRUnderground) July 22nd, 2026
Damon Burton, bestselling author and founder of SEO National
, released a white paper documenting the security and legal liabilities businesses face when deploying AI-built websites and AI coding agents. The article was published in Hacker Noon on June 23, 2026.
Burton’s paper, “AI Websites and the Liability Nobody Talks About,” cites peer-reviewed studies showing that AI-generated code contains substantially more security vulnerabilities than human-written code. It also examines documented incidents in which AI coding agents damaged production environments and reviews recent court decisions establishing that businesses remain responsible for AI-generated output. The paper concludes with a liability framework covering more than 20 regulated industries.
Burton said he is pleased to have this important research on AI website liabilities published on Hacker Noon, a global technology publication serving a broad readership of developers, entrepreneurs, and technology decision-makers. He said he hopes it will prompt businesses to weigh the costs before rushing into AI shortcuts. “The productivity gains from AI are real, and I get why businesses are moving fast,” said Burton. “But a fast, cheap AI-built website is not the same thing as a secure, well-engineered one. The businesses we work with are already seeing the downstream costs of confusing those two things.”
Burton founded his Utah SEO agency in 2007 and has spent nearly two decades advising businesses on long-term organic growth. His book “Optimize” became a bestseller in the SEO category, and his work has appeared in numerous business and technology publications. The Hacker Noon feature reflects his growing focus on the operational risks accompanying AI adoption.
