AI writes a lot of software. Now, human code review is starting to disappear.
New data from the coding platform Cursor indicates that developers are increasingly allowing AI agents to push code to production without manual human review. This trend suggests a growing reliance on and trust in the reliability of AI-generated software.
Why it matters
The shift toward autonomous AI coding workflows could significantly accelerate software development cycles while introducing new risks regarding code quality and security.

AI coding agents are increasingly being trusted to work without human oversight. New data from Cursor shows the share of AI-generated code 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.
