AI code governance is the new code review bottleneck

The recent shift in AI coding tools has led to an unexpected bottleneck in code governance, as teams are now churning out more code than their traditional review systems can handle. GitLab's new research shows that while adoption of AI tools is high and development speeds are increasing, the volume of code is outpacing the capacity of existing code review processes. This shift is causing friction and could lead to a decline in code quality if not addressed, highlighting the need for new governance frameworks to keep pace with rapid AI-driven development.
