Is AI-generated code safe to ship to production?

Treat AI-generated code like any other pull request, review it, test it, and run it through your normal code review process before it ships.

No. AI can speed up boilerplate and debugging, but architecture decisions, code review, and system design remain a developer's responsibility.
