AI-assisted development accelerates software delivery. It also accelerates technical debt. In large organizations, technical debt shows up across interdependent systems competing for the same IT budget.
Technical debt is an umbrella term, and there are many types. Independent analysis points to architectural debt as the fastest-growing form; the accumulated cost of structural compromises in how your software systems are designed and connected.
Managing it requires system-wide context: which components depend on each other, where changes cascade, and what the business impact is. That context is precisely what AI lacks.
In this fireside chat, Jasper Geurts, CTO of Software Improvement Group (SIG), and Luc Brandts, CEO of Software Improvement Group, discuss what technical debt management requires, what most organizations are missing, and how to stay in control as AI makes software portfolios grow faster than ever before.
