What does code review mean when AI writes most of the code? The answer isn’t to review more carefully. It’s a fundamentally different process, one built around rules, agents, and governance rather than diffs and comments. In this episode, Itamar Friedman, founder and CEO of Qodo.ai, shares how AI is forcing a complete rethink of code review - from inline comments on code diffs to multi-agent governance systems that verify intent, architecture, and business logic at scale. He traces the evolution of code review through successive generations, explains why traditional static analysis is no longer sufficient, and lays out what a modern quality and governance layer actually looks like.
