I used to work for a bank and the legal team used to ping us to make tiny changes to the app for compliance related issues. Now they can fix themselves. I think they’d be very proud and happy

that will be an interesting new Bug tracker: anyone in the company will be able to report any bug or add any future request, if the model will be able to solve it automatically perfect otherwise some human might take over. The interesting question then will be what code changes are legal and within the standards of what the company wants. So non-technical code/issue reviewer will become a super important and ubiquitous job.

Not just legal/within the standards, but which actually meet the unspoken requirements of the request. "We just need a new checkbox that asks if you're left handed" might seem easy, but then it has ramifications for the Application PDF that gets generated, as well as any systems downstream, and maybe it requires a data conversion of some sort somewhere. I know that the PO's I work with miss stuff or assume that the request will just have features by default.
