If your company is sticking to "everything needs (human) review" then you wont run into most of this. This issue is that a lot of companies are using AI as an excuse to remove that review process (either partially or entirely).
Yes, that is very real to me, the AI "revolution" is more of a battle between traditional devs trying to replace their managers with AI, and professional managers trying to get rid of the devs the same way. There is a wide degree and scope of knicker-twister'ing in these trenches.
Everyone can write code these days. Trouble is, all code has to be SIL-4 code now, because, human, you will never know if your compiler trusts your AI until you trust your compiler. This rule will be true for decades into the future, I'm willing to wager...
But, ultimately, software has to follow certain rules, or it just doesn't work. Proper workflows - involving review - are needed. Because security is pretty much over, otherwise.
Folks are finding it easier to make their own software now, too - rather than use others. I predict an end to the app stores - or at least, the primary interface is going to end up being "describe the app you want to use today" instead of picking words from a list ..
