• Highlights that teams gaining most from AI-assisted generation are those with pre-built platform governance structures
• Argues platform engineering becomes more critical as AI increases the volume and velocity of unvetted infrastructure code
• Suggests ungoverned AI-generated code creates new bottlenecks and security risks in DevOps pipelines
