As AI agents become more capable of handling complex development tasks, the primary challenge shifts from code generation to verification. Hallucinations are an inherent issue, and as models improve, their failures become more frequent and convincing, increasing the risk of human reviewers succumbing to cognitive surrender. This talk proposes a three-stage discipline for responsible agentic development: Guide, Verify, Solve. It argues that robust verification infrastructure is essential for safety and provides a competitive edge.
