You don't need a human to review every AI-generated PR. That may sound reckless, but it's increasingly looking like the smarter operating model. Intercom has already shown this can work at scale: PRs approved by its AI system move five times as fast as human-reviewed ones and have a lower revert rate. In other words, the AI-reviewed code isn't just shipping faster—it's less likely to need fixing after it reaches production.
