Abstract

The risks associated with adopting large language model (LLM) chatbots in software organizations highlight the need for clear policies. We examine how 11 companies create these policies and the factors that influence them, aiming to help managers safely integrate chatbots into development workflows.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Organisations often establish policies that govern the use of LLM-generated code.

    “To manage these limitations, organisations often establish policies that govern the use of LLM-generated code [3].”
  • Policies often highlight the need for code review and verification when generating code, but do not specify how the reviews should be conducted.

    “More specifically, these policies often highlight the need for code review and verification when generating code, but do not specify how the reviews should be conducted.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
