Do you know who-or what-created the foundation of your software? And can you trust it?
Today, we’re joined by Matt Van Itallie, CEO of Sema Software, a leading code and software analytics platform that has analyzed over $1 trillion worth of software. A lifelong tech expert, Matt has been instrumental in shaping the AI industry with innovations like the GenAI Code Monitor and Generative AI Bill of Materials.
He’s here to discuss transparency in Generative AI for software development and how AI is transforming coding practices while introducing new challenges in accountability, ownership, and quality assurance.
About Matt Van Itallie
As the CEO of Sema, Matt Van Itallie is passionate about problems that are hard and problems that matter. His career has always focused on a desire to serve the common good. At Sema, he leads a cross-functional team of technologists to build solutions that empower engineers to work with GenAI code. He co-founded Sema Technologies Inc., which he currently leads as CEO, to help organizations drive better outcomes through their software.
Sema’s flagship solution, Comprehensive Codebase Scans, has earned a reputation as the leading codebase scanning tool for the technical due diligence process. Having evaluated more than $1T in value for leading private equity firms and enterprise M&A teams, Sema has built one of the most comprehensive datasets to provide actionable suggestions to engineering organizations. With this foundation, Matt is leading the development of the AI Code Monitor, which helps engineering organizations increase developer productivity and address the regulatory risks of generative AI code.
When he’s not building the AI Code Monitor or thinking about code as data and CTO dashboards, Matt enjoys hiking with his wife, cooking with his kids, and throwing dinner parties to bring diverse minds together.
