Accountability in AI-Generated Code: Who Takes the Fall?

As AI becomes capable of generating production software, a pressing question emerges: who is responsible if that code fails or causes harm?

Developers might rely on AI for efficiency, but mistakes can happen. Should the human developer bear the responsibility? Or should companies that deploy AI-written code be accountable? Maybe even the AI creators?

This isn’t just theoretical-by 2026, laws and ethics around AI-generated software could reshape programming careers.

πŸ’¬ I’m curious: How should the industry define responsibility in the age of AI coding?
