Insights from BTD26: Reviewing AI-generated code

As AI agents take on more implementation work, the role of software engineers is changing. At Big Techday 26, Marius Wichtner from Kilo explained why reviewing the intent behind a change is becoming just as important as reviewing the code itself.

The speaker showed how AI agents can handle much of the implementation work, while humans remain responsible for evaluating business value and making the final decisions. He further presented practical approaches for reviewing AI-generated code through structured planning and multi-stage review processes.
