AI software factories face 88% failure rate without human oversight
AI software factories may fail 88% of the time if there is no human oversight, and fully autonomous systems often stall or introduce security issues. Some teams review all AI work, which increases safety and quality but limits speed gains because human review becomes a bottleneck. A mixed approach, where humans focus on the most important decisions and AI handles routine tasks, might offer large productivity boosts without increasing risks. Studies suggest keeping a human 'kill switch' and clear audit trails remains important for safe deployment.
