abstract = {Humanity is progressing towards automated product
development, a trend that promises faster creation of better
products and thus the acceleration of technological
progress. However, increasing reliance on non-human agents
for this process introduces many risks. This perspective
aims to initiate a discussion on these risks and appropriate
mitigation strategies. To this end, we outline a set of
principles for safer AI-driven product development which
emphasize human oversight, accountability, and explainable
design, among others. The risk assessment covers both
technical risks which affect product quality and safety, and
sociotechnical risks which affect society. While AI-driven
product development is still in its early stages, this
discussion will help balance its opportunities and risks
without delaying essential progress in understanding,
norm-setting, and regulation.},
