Al democratizes software development, but who owns the technical debt?

Summary

Explores the challenges of AI-generated software in organizations, including questions of ownership, understanding black-box code, and maintenance responsibilities.

I am wondering about governance for AI generated projects, especially in companies. If (non-technical) employees can build applications with Al: \- who owns the application? \- who is responsible for understanding how these systems actually work? \- how do you avoid creating huge amounts of black box software nobody understands? \- who deals with security and maintenance? Are there already governance models, policies or real-world experiences for handling Al-generated software inside your organizations? I am curious to hear your perspectives.
