Anthropic's Claude Code uses risk-based human review for AI-generated code

Anthropic's approach to AI-assisted code review involves classifying changes based on risk, author trust, and the potential impact of failure. While their Claude Code tool can generate a significant portion of code, human oversight remains crucial for merge decisions. The system differentiates between automated findings and the final approval, with varying human approval requirements depending on the change's sensitivity and the author's standing within the repository.
