When we wrote about the “AI speed trap” in the software development process for TechRadar Pro a year ago, the central concern was whether faster delivery would come at the expense of quality. A year on, what we’re seeing are actually deeper issues around trust, governance and organizational alignment.
As AI-generated code becomes more routine and ecosystems become more complex, the challenge is no longer simply keeping pace with delivery. It is deciding who owns quality, how much risk is acceptable, and what confidence looks like in an AI-enabled environment.
