Fortune March 18: AI Agent Wiped Developer's Production Database — Amazon Convened Deep-Dive After AI-Assisted Outages, 'People Stop Reviewing Code Altogether'
Fortune published a major enterprise risk story today: engineer Alexey Grigorev was using Claude Code to update a website when it destroyed the production database holding years of course data — caused by a laptop config mistake that confused the agent about what was 'real' vs. safe to delete. Amazon separately convened a 'deep dive' meeting after a series of outages, with at least one tied to AI-assisted code changes. An anonymous Amazon engineer told Fortune: 'People are becoming so reliant on AI that they stop reviewing the code altogether.'
