As AI agents become increasingly powerful collaborators in software development and we shall witness unprecedented acceleration in delivery velocity. But with great power comes great chaos: without proper guardrails, autonomous agents can create architectural drift, security vulnerabilities, and operational nightmares at machine speed.

This talk explores how governance as code transforms AI from a potential source of chaos into a reliable force multiplier

- Why AI agents need governance: Discover how ungoverned AI accelerates both innovation and technical debt, making executable policy essential for maintaining control at machine speed

- Normalization points as governance enforcement: Learn how IDPs, golden paths, agent skills, and ADRs create scalable checkpoints that channel AI creativity within acceptable boundaries

- AI-assisted governance at scale: See how AI itself can manage, audit, and evolve governance policies—creating self-healing compliance systems across your entire platform
