The idea of AI-assisted work is somewhat controversial for humans. Readers of InfoWorld wanted to know where people remain critical. Smart Answers parsed our decades of human reporting to investigate.
The verdict? Human developers are crucial for critical software projects because AI, while capable of generating code, lacks understanding and is prone to hallucinations. Human engineers are essential for validating, testing, and monitoring AI-generated outputs to prevent errors and ensure reliability, especially in high-stakes environments in which software controls critical systems.
Developers also provide the necessary organizational context that AI systems lack, which is vital for effective and efficient project development.
