While AI coding tools can boost developer productivity by generating code rapidly, they also create a bottleneck in code review capacity. Organizations are finding that the volume of AI-generated code requiring review outstrips the availability of senior engineers to scrutinize it effectively. This can lead to code being merged without full understanding, causing issues to surface later, as indicated by research from Google's DORA program and Stack Overflow. AI
