AI is writing code faster than most teams can review it. That’s the tension.

Recorded live at NVIDIA GTC with Nate McKie, we get into what happens when developer speed takes off but security and quality don’t.

The middle of the development process is collapsing. Code is cheap. Mistakes aren’t.

So what actually has to change?

We get into AI-native engineering, agentic development and the shift from code generation to code governance. From code review bottlenecks and the “hourglass effect” to model selection, RBAC and secure data access, this is how enterprise teams scale AI without breaking things.
