The Autonomous Enterprise
summary
Panelists predict that within 3–5 years multiple specialized agents orchestrate entire SDLCs, creating continuous refactoring pipelines that close the loop from UX telemetry to code fix to deploy. Actual builds already include audit agent and code‑review agents, plus GitOps and infrastructure as code. Expect incidents where immature DevOps and weak governance exist, shifting accountability upstream to platform owners and agent vendors. Practical steps: invest in platform engineering, observability, provenance/traceability, pilot greenfield multi‑agent workflows, and expect ~20% productivity gains from AI assistance.
