📌 Abstract

As AI tools like ChatGPT and GitHub Copilot become increasingly common in programming contexts, concerns arise regarding their influence on code quality, problem solving skills and academic integrity. This study investigates how experts perceive and evaluate AI-generated code through a structured assessment framework. By conducting an expert review experiment, we examine the strengths, weaknesses and risks associated with AI-assisted programming. Our findings reveal that while AI tools can accelerate code generation, critical issues in logic, design and originality persist, emphasizing the need for thoughtful integration of AI into software engineering education and evaluation. —
