AI isn’t just changing how software gets written - it’s changing who ships, who scales, and who falls behind. In this episode of the AI Proving Ground Podcast , Nate McKie and Andrew Brydon of World Wide Technology break down how artificial intelligence and AI coding assistants are reshaping enterprise software development - from real productivity gains and improved data quality to the risks leaders can’t afford to ignore. They cut through the hype to explain which tools actually matter, how to evaluate AI coding assistants in real-world engineering environments, and why agentic AI will fundamentally redefine the software lifecycle by 2026. The insight is clear: strong engineering fundamentals still win - but in the era of enterprise AI, AI now amplifies everything, including bad practices. If you’re responsible for software delivery, platform strategy, or developer productivity, this conversation delivers practical frameworks, clear watch-outs, and grounded guidance for adopting AI without breaking trust, security, or velocity.
