Instead of AI producing code that is easy for human to comprehend, would there be new languages which would also cater to the need for AI to efficiently code the instructions while providing interface for humans to debug if something needs to looked into detail.

"Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it." -- Brian Kernighan
