Who's Accountable When AI Wrote the Code?

You've basically stopped writing significant amounts of code. AI does it — you check it, direct it, and sign off on it. The leverage is real and so is the uneasy feeling that comes with it. You're now responsible for output you didn't fully produce, at a volume you can't fully review, while leadership pushes for more speed. And nobody — not your org, not the industry — has figured out yet who's actually on the hook when something goes wrong.

Here's the honest truth: nobody has a clean answer yet — not your organization, not the industry, not the people writing the frameworks. So this session doesn't pretend to have one either. Instead, we'll pool what's actually working for people in the room, surface what's already helping teams stay more on top of it, and build something more useful than a handed-down answer. You'll also develop the skill to become calmer and more clearheaded when you're buried in pull requests and competing demands — and when something does go wrong. You'll leave with concrete approaches for navigating the gray zone and more practical ways to handle the pressure of leading when the rules are still being written.

About Hunter Milligan

Technical leaders and developers are under more pressure than ever — tighter deadlines, shifting priorities, and now an AI landscape that's moving faster than anyone can fully keep up with. When the pressure is constant, even sharp, experienced people start reacting instead of leading. That's where Hunter comes in.

As a former developer and Fortune 500 consultant turned performance coach, Hunter works with technical leaders and developers who are done running on fumes. For 15+ years he's helped analytically-minded professionals stay clear-headed under pressure, lead with steadiness instead of adrenaline, and actually get more done — without the grind that burns people out.

When not traveling the states or the rest of the world, Hunter enjoys mountain biking, snowboarding, and practicing tai chi—often in unexpected places.
