Proper software engineering, i.e. systems engineering applied to software systems, isn't going to care whether its AI-generated code or not.

Err, no. One of the major differences between coding and software engineering is that you often need to prove the code is correct. In the same way that a real-time OS isn't made to be faster, it's made to operate predictably and reliably.

In safety-critical scenarios it's not enough that something works, you need to understand and document how it works.

Uh, yeah? You've successfully described systems engineering.

Doesn't matter if the code is generated by an artificial intelligence or an actual idiot, the same processes apply. Unit test, system test, document, verify, etc, as dictated by your engineering management system.
