A new essay argues that AI-generated code and coding agents are making it harder to trust how software is built and checked. Its concern is that invisible system prompts, hallucinations, indirect prompt injection and automated supply-chain attacks can leave developers and users unable to verify what their software is doing.
Why it mattersThat is the author’s argument, not evidence that AI coding has made software universally unverifiable. But it points to a practical question for teams adopting coding agents: who checks the code, the tools and the assumptions behind them when the assistant is part of the supply chain?
Discuss: Should organisations require independent checks of AI-generated code and its tooling, even if that slows down development?
