How software development is being rewritten

Agentic AI is often presented as a productivity tool that helps developers write code faster. Our experience suggests something far more profound is happening. While transforming a large-scale digital platform, we discovered that AI-assisted development changes much more than implementation speed: it challenges software architecture, governance models and the role of development teams themselves. This session shares the lessons we learned along the way and how Agentic AI is redefining the economics and operating model of software engineering.

Arnaud Cormier is a software engineer, architect and technology leader who has spent more than two decades helping organisations build and evolve large-scale digital platforms.

His career has taken him from compiler technology, software development and cryptography to integration engineering, enterprise architecture and cloud transformation. Today, he leads digital transformation initiatives at the Publications Office of the European Union, where he focuses on modern software delivery practices and the impact of Agentic AI on engineering teams.

Passionate about both technology and organisational change, Arnaud explores how AI is reshaping the way software is designed, built and governed. He believes the most significant impact of AI is not that developers write code faster, but that the entire operating model of software engineering is being reinvented.

When he is not discussing architecture, platform engineering or AI, he is usually cooking, taking pictures, LARPing or spending time with friends and family.
