## AI overview

The article argues that platform engineering must evolve as AI-generated code and agentic workloads change delivery, infrastructure, identity, permissions, and security requirements. It highlights parallel builds, automated policy checks, scalable review tooling, GPU and TPU allocation, MCP gateways, and guardrails as platform needs.
