We constructed Story Arena, a multi-agent \"writer's room\" in which multiple AI agents, independently imbued with a position statement on the future of software engineering, converse with each other to develop a shared vision. They then use this shared vision to collaboratively construct a design fiction that depicts this vision in narrative form. We present \"The Code of Trust,\" a short fiction that investigates themes of human comprehension, trust, content ownership, augmentation vs. replacement, and uncertain futures in human-AI co-creation.","short_abstract":"What better way to understand the impact of AI on software engineering than to ask AI itself?
