When curious LLMs and autonomous AI agents knock on your API gateway, expect context-laden chaos. The enterprise gateway must become the governance layer: authenticate identities, rate-limit the party, negotiate schemas, validate payloads, mask secrets, and amplify real-time observability. Add adaptive throttling and dynamic policy enforcement to block prompt injections and data leaks — and evolve faster than the AI tide. In this talk, ICA will show how the AI elephant arrived, what perceptions it triggered, and when (and by what measures) the tech department tackled these challenges with rollout schedules and easy operational guides.
