Value proposition: This AWS-themed meetup gives developers practical, actionable guidance on AI governance so you can ship code faster while keeping security and compliance in check. If you’re building with AI in real-world dev environments, this session will translate governance concepts into concrete guardrails you can apply today. When and where: Thu, Feb 26, 2026, 5:30 PM local time in San Francisco. Registration on the external event website is REQUIRED for admission: https://www.aicamp.ai/event/eventdetails/W2026022618. Expect an in-person meetup hosted in San Francisco by the local AI/LLMS community with AWS alignment in focus. What to expect: AI is increasingly part of everyday development — coding assistants, autonomous agents, background tasks, and more. Yet many teams struggle to govern AI usage, with guardrails either missing or slowing work down. This session focuses on practical guardrails that protect source code, credentials, and infrastructure without turning development into a compliance nightmare. You’ll hear real-world examples of how teams are enabling safe AI agents inside modern dev environments, with a bias toward actionable takeaways rather than abstract policy decks. Key takeaways you’ll walk away with: - A clear, developer-focused understanding of what AI governance means beyond security teams - Why AI agents require different permissions than humans and common missteps to avoid - Practical guardrails that can accelerate delivery rather than bottleneck it - A simple mental model to apply whether you’re experimenting locally or rolling out AI in a team Who this is for: Beginner to intermediate software developers, platform engineers, and DevOps folks supporting dev teams who are using AI tools beyond simple autocompletion. Speakers/Topics: Check the event website for speakers and topics. If you’re interested in speaking, you can submit topics for consideration via the event page. Sponsors: The organizers are actively seeking sponsors to support the community, including venues, food/drink, or cash sponsorship. Sponsors gain visibility with a large network of AI developers in San Francisco and globally. Additional context: The event page notes the community’s broad reach (50,000+ AI developers in San Francisco and 500K+ globally) and frames this meetup as a practical exploration of governance without heavy policy overhead.
