What you'll learn

How adoption differs by scale

What an early-stage CTO can mandate overnight vs what an engineering manager at an established company has to negotiate.

Challenges of pushing AI adoption org-wide

Review bottlenecks, security surprises, and cultural resistance hit in practice, and how to resolve them

Where to start in your own org

The first 30 days of an AI-native push including important tooling and policy decisions

Why this topic matters

Every engineering org is under pressure to adopt AI, but most attempts stall: tools get bought, a few engineers go deep, and nothing changes org-wide. The gap isn't the technology, it's the org design, governance, and culture around it. In this panel, two AI-native engineering leaders will share what actually worked, what failed, and what they'd do differently.
