Conventional wisdom says that adopting gen AI requires you to re-think and re-examine how your organization functions.
This is true for any new technology, especially for one as revolutionary as gen AI. But first you need a clear understanding of what the new technology is good for, what it does, and how it works.
When AI agents do a lot of the manual work people used to do, organizational structures change to reflect that. Teams can be smaller, and individual team members can take on multiple roles.
Conway’s Law says that an organization’s IT systems mimic its organizational communication structure. The question then is what impact the human-to-agent communication has on an organization’s structure, and therefore on its IT systems.
Change Can be Hard
Agentic AI’s impact on DevSecOps primarily involves communications among the dev, security, and ops organizations.
Dev is perhaps the most impacted by gen AI, because of the widespread adoption of AI coding tools for productivity improvement.
However, cybersecurity is significantly impacted as well. There is so much new code that it’s hard for them to keep up.
For ops, the impact is probably the least of the three combined functions, but nonetheless the increased rate of change presents opportunities for re-examining processes and roles.
