Autonomous software development creates a dilemma for leaders in regulated industries: adopt AI coding at scale or fall behind on product velocity without compromising auditability and code quality. In CXOTalk episode 917, Kris Tokarzewski, Group Chief Technology Information Officer at Vitality, describes how a 14,000-employee multinational insurer is rebuilding its software development life cycle around AI. This episode examines the impact of agentic AI on software development in the enterprise. Recorded at Blitzy's headquarters, the conversation examines deterministic code generation, Blitzy's infinite code context, context engineering, test-driven development, and the shifting bottlenecks that surface as throughput accelerates.
