AI is making software delivery less stable. DORA's Nathen Harvey on the fix | EVOLVE 2026

DORA's data shows that as AI adoption goes up, individual effectiveness rises, and so does software delivery instability: more rollbacks and more unplanned rework. Nathen Harvey of Google's DORA team explains why AI acts as an amplifier of whatever system you already have. He walks through the seven capabilities that separate teams getting real gains from teams drowning in downstream chaos. He also argues that the risks stopping you from shipping AI-built work should become your platform roadmap.

Recorded at EVOLVE 2026, Cortex's conference for engineering leaders building their AI software factory.
