Birgitta Böckeler, Thoughtworks' global lead for AI-assisted software delivery, told attendees at QCon London this week that AI agents and context engineering are making tools too useful to ignore but risk pulling developers out of the loop. She highlighted sub-agents, agent teams, rising costs, and security threats like malware and data extraction, urging context/harness engineering and ongoing review to manage risk.
