Agentic coding may create self-undermining loop, experts warn

The concept of agentic coding might create a self-undermining loop, similar to Anthropic's paradox of supervision, where the AI's ability to code erodes the very skills needed to supervise it. This issue is paralleled in mathematics, where AI's rapid generation and verification outpace human comprehension. A potential solution involves Decision-Bound Programming, which aims to reduce the scope of human evaluation rather than maximizing code generation. AI
