Human Oversight and Overload: Two Hidden and Costly Burdens of AI-Assisted Software Engineering
arXiv:2606. 05770v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: AI is changing how software engineers work, but it often comes with hidden burdens and costs.
arXiv:2606. 05391v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Autonomous software agents hold promise to increase developer productivity but make mistakes and exhibit novel failure modes, making human oversight central to successful human-agent collaboration.

arXiv:2607. 02389v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Coding agents are capable; human oversight is the bottleneck.
arXiv:2607. 14037v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Agentic coding tools are increasingly capable of generating and submitting pull requests (PRs) to software projects, introducing new forms of human-agent collaboration in software development.
arXiv:2608. 12355v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recent progress in AI coding agent research has led to rapid improvements in agents' ability to autonomously perform complex software engineering tasks, from editing large codebases to executing long-horizon development workflows.
arXiv:2607. 01087v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Generative AI is shifting software engineering from a practice organized around scarce implementation effort toward one organized around abundant, low-cost code production.
arXiv:2606. 05647v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: AI coding agents are increasingly embedded in real-world software development, collaborating with human developers while gaining broader access to codebases and tools.
arXiv:2608. 09278v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: GUI agents have advanced rapidly, producing a growing body of frameworks, benchmarks, and applications.
Agentic coding tools are increasingly capable of generating and submitting pull requests (PRs) to software projects, introducing new forms of human-agent collaboration in software development. While prior studies have examined PR-level outcomes of agent-generated contributions, less is known about how agentic coding tools are adopted and managed at the project level.
arXiv:2606. 02282v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Orchestrating Large Language Models into Multi-Agent Systems (LLM-MAS) has unlocked remarkable reasoning capabilities, yet emergent failures and hallucinations that resist characterisation block their deployment in safety-critical domains -- a gap made legally untenable by emerging AI regulation.
arXiv:2605. 17548v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Code review has evolved for decades, from informal peer checking to today's pull request (PR) workflows, yet it remains a largely manual and cognitively demanding process.
arXiv:2606. 08323v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multi-agent large language model (LLM) systems are rapidly emerging, yet transparency, a cornerstone of responsible AI, remains under-defined in these distributed architectures, which have complexities of inter-agent coordination and orchestration.
