The Part of AI-Assisted Development Clients Don’t See

AI-assisted development can save time, but it also introduces new costs, such as the cost of getting from 'working' to production-ready, the cost of keeping code alive as the project grows, and the loss of human judgment. These costs can be underestimated and may lead to trouble six months in. Understanding these costs upfront is crucial for a realistic project plan. The cost of quality, ownership, and review should be planned for early on to avoid costly issues later on. A team should be in place to maintain AI-generated code from day one.
