About the Event
Beyond the Merge Request: Turning AI Coding Speed into Software You Can Trust is a virtual fireside chat hosted by GitLab in partnership with analyst firm Omdia. The session addresses a fundamental challenge emerging from AI agent adoption in software development: while AI can generate code at unprecedented speeds, organizations face a new bottleneck in verifying that code is safe, secure and compliant before it ships.
Trust and Governance in AI-Assisted Development
The event explores how code review, testing, security and deployment processes must adapt to operate at machine scale. Key areas of focus include governance and policy frameworks for AI-generated code, risk management and traceability throughout software delivery, and the practical guardrails needed to grant AI agents appropriate autonomy. The discussion also examines how engineering roles are evolving as human developers shift toward supervising AI agents rather than writing all code directly.
Who Should Attend
This webinar is designed for software engineering leaders, DevOps and DevSecOps professionals, security architects and compliance officers. Product managers and developer advocates working in organizations that are adopting or scaling AI in their software development processes will also find the content relevant. The session combines executive-level discussion with technical demonstration, making it suitable for both strategic decision-makers and practitioners responsible for implementation.
