Swarm Programming: When your Dev Team becomes software
Details
## AI is no longer just assisting developers.
It is beginning to embody entire development roles with agents writing code, reviewing pull requests, running tests, updating documentation, and even coordinating work across source control.
We have the ability to move toward software-defined development teams.
But the real risk isn’t code quality. It’s uncontrolled autonomy.
This talk explores the emerging idea of “Swarm Programming” where development teams will include both humans and AI agents working together each contributing what they're good at.
We’ll explore practical engineering patterns to make this safer and more usable; especially as more and more power can be granted to AI Agents.
You'll leave having started to consider a practical blueprint for teams experimenting with AI-driven development today, especially in environments where governance and accountability matter.
Hosted as usual at CGI’s Nottingham office in the large open social space — we’ll have hot drinks, and other breakfast items ready for you.
