Another Microsoft team admits it’s struggling to handle flood of AI-generated code
Microsoft's Edge team is overwhelmed by AI-generated browser extensions, forcing it to automate review processes to handle the surge.Summary
The Microsoft Edge team has revealed it is struggling to cope with a massive increase in AI-generated browser extensions submitted for review. The team attributes the surge to developers using AI-assisted coding tools to build and iterate on extensions much faster. This flood of submissions has strained its review pipeline, leading to longer turnaround times. To address the challenge, the Edge team has introduced automation for repeatable validation checks, allowing human reviewers to focus on complex cases. The team insists this automation does not lower review standards but improves efficiency. As a result, the team expects to approve and update extensions more quickly, and it will now refresh its "Featured" badge for high-quality extensions every 15 days, providing faster recognition for developers and a more current view for users.
