SD CTO Talks Presents: The Real Cost of AI-Driven Development

About the event
Engineering teams are embedding AI across their entire development lifecycle. The question: what happens when velocity outpaces understanding?
This month's CTO Talks brings together two perspectives: one advocating for AI acceleration, the other defending engineering rigor, code ownership, and long-term reliability.
