# Code Reviews in the Age of AI

**[Earthly](https://daily.dev/sources/earthly)** · 10 min read · 1 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

AI-generated code has fundamentally changed code review workflows. The traditional PR-based review process is becoming obsolete as developers now act as intermediaries between AI code generators and AI reviewers. The solution isn't more AI reviewers reading code, but deterministic guardrails that enforce organizational constraints automatically. Review has shifted from catching syntax errors to verifying intent locally during code generation, while human review should focus on architecture and product alignment. Stochastic AI reviewers are unreliable for blocking PRs due to inconsistency, lack of organizational memory, and inability to be centrally managed. The future involves deterministic checks that can be trusted to block PRs, moving enforcement earlier into the development loop, and elevating human review to high-judgment questions about intent and architecture.
