# AI can write the code. Your team still owns the debt.

**[The New Stack](https://daily.dev/sources/newstack)** · 5 min read · 1 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

AI coding tools are accelerating code generation but shifting costs toward verification, review, and remediation. A Sonar-sponsored analysis argues that 96% of developers distrust AI-generated code yet only 48% consistently verify it, and 88% report AI has negatively impacted technical debt. The post introduces the AC/DC (Agent Centric Development Cycle) framework with three stages — Guide, Verify, and Solve — advocating for continuous multilayer verification that shapes AI agents before, during, and after code generation rather than only at pull request time. Without this, teams risk architectural debt compounding faster than value is delivered.
