AI writes a lot of software. Now, human code review is starting to disappear.

AI coding agents are increasingly trusted to work without human oversight, with new data from Cursor showing the share of AI-generated code changes reaching production without manual review has jumped in the past six months. This suggests developers are becoming more comfortable letting AI handle larger chunks of software development autonomously.

AI coding agents are increasingly being trusted to work without human oversight. New data from Cursor https://www.businessinsider.com/cursor-ceo-michael-truell-spacex-elon-musk-anthropic-2026-6 shows the share of AI-generated code https://www.businessinsider.com/ai-coding-boom-more-software-shipped-no-hit-quality-2026-3 changes reaching production without a separate manual review step has jumped in the past six months. This suggests developers are becoming more comfortable letting AI handle larger chunks of the software-development process on its own. While Cursor doesn't directly measure the quality of fully autonomous code, it says AI-generated code is surviving at higher rates than before, a sign that developers are finding the output increasingly reliable.
