GitLab has been around for ten years and has garnered a reputation for helping federal agencies ensure compliance with stringent government standards.

Today, we sat down with Joel Krooswick from GitLab to discuss some top-of-mind topics for the software development community: Agentic AI and the implications of applying AI to software development.

Joel Krooswick explains that Agentic AI acts as unit taskers, managing specific tasks exceptionally well, such as code creation and refactoring. He emphasizes the importance of contextual awareness and security protocols to prevent malicious attacks.

In a play of words, it was suggested that "artificial" Intelligence may be replaced by "augmented" Intelligence—GitLab's role in augmenting, not replacing, developers, and the need for real-time compliance checks.

They also touch on the cultural shift required to adapt to AI's advancements, ensuring human value remains central in the workforce.

Joel will speak at the Gartner Security & Risk Management and AWS Public Sector Summit in the Washington, DC, area on June 10-11.
