The tech industry's rush to invest in AI has led to neglecting software quality, testing teams, and reliability engineering. While AI can automate certain testing tasks, it cannot replace human oversight for risk management, regulatory compliance, and complex failure analysis. Cloud outages, safety recalls, and product failures are already emerging as consequences. The industry is repeating a historical pattern of deprioritizing quality for speed. A correction is coming where quality will return as an independent strategic function, hybrid AI-human teams will become standard, and boards will demand controls to prevent AI-driven failures. Companies that balance AI innovation with strong quality practices will emerge as winners.
