AI agents now write, review and ship code, and our supply-chain security can't tell how that code was made. A green build and a clean scan don't tell you which model or tools the agent used, whether it had your security guidelines, or whether a human actually reviewed the change. In this talk I introduce Agentic Process Evidence, a proposed open community standard. It records the AI development process as structured, signed evidence that is attached to the commit and linked back to the full agent session logs, so release policies can enforce it automatically as policy as code.

Open source models are closing in on the frontier. But is running them the same as being sovereign? David Sullivan explains why true sovereignty means owning the whole model lifecycle, and why that's where prototypes stall before production. James Faure shows how distilling small, task-specific models can slash costs. Dr Rosemary Francis argues it's ridiculous to use the most expensive model for every task, and that your harness and engineering process matter more than which model sits at the top of the leaderboard.

Why can't the UK make its own AI chips? David Sullivan argues that the biggest gap isn't chips, compute or electricity. It's trust. If people won't let AI near their finances, the best model in the world goes unused, and that's where the UK has a real chance to lead. Civo makes complexity a thing of the past.

Dave Killeen will tell you, on record, that his relationship with AI has crossed into unhealthy territory. He also says he has never felt more alive, that he is 50 and feels 30, and that he sometimes waits for his two small children to go to bed so he can start a coding session. In between, he gives Axel Sooriah the most practical answer on this show yet to the question every product team is facing: your exec says "we need AI," and you have no idea what they actually want.

Digital Experience Monitoring (DEM) in Grafana Cloud combines frontend observability, synthetic checks, and session replays with backend telemetry to give engineering teams an end-to-end view of customer experience. In this video, Senior Developer Advocate Marie Cruz gives an overview of DEM and a deep-dive demo of how it works in Grafana Cloud.

AI can write code. But can it actually ship it? The Harness Software Delivery Agent helps automate the entire software delivery process, from building and testing code to provisioning infrastructure, deploying changes, and troubleshooting failures. All while following your team's approvals, policies, and guardrails. AI helps you write code. Harness helps you ship it.

A Hacker Used Claude to Attack 9 Banks. This Is Just the Beginning. A hacker reportedly used Claude Code and an open-source AI penetration testing agent to attack nine South Korean banks. But the most surprising part? The AI-assisted attack also helped investigators identify the suspect. Is this the beginning of a new era of AI-powered cybercrime, where attackers can launch sophisticated attacks with fewer skills and resources?
