Pull requests have become the default way teams collaborate, review code, and catch problems before they ship. But when AI can review a change in seconds, it's worth asking what we actually expect a PR to do.

Is it a quality gate? A knowledge-sharing moment? An audit trail of how the codebase evolves?

This talk explores what happens to the PR when AI enters the process. We will look at what humans still uniquely contribute when AI is doing more of the reviewing, why the work that happens before the PR opens matters more than ever, and how to think about ownership and accountability in a pipeline where AI is making more of the decisions.
