    AI in Software Engineering: The end of a world as we know it? Or not?

    With all the buzz around ChatGPT, its emergent behavior of being able to write code and the latest announcements from GitHub Copilot X we couldn’t but wonder what will be the impact of AI-powered tools on the profession of Software Engineering which up until now seemed to be immune to existential threats. In this session we will attempt to answer the question: “How likely is it for software engineers to lose their jobs in the future?”. Or better, “Are we close to a Doom’s day for software engineers?”. In this session Yiannis will elaborate on the following aspects:

    - What is the promise of AI-assisted software development tools?

    - Why are AI-assisted tools increasing code capacity but not software development productivity?

    - What are their expected pros and cons?

    - How can software engineers adapt and instead of fearing for their jobs, make the most out of these tools?

    Even before the first generated articles and images were released onto our newsfeeds, the question of how to build trust in the age of AI was already a significant challenge.

    Flash forward to today with our large language models (LLMs) and image generators, and the challenge of building trust is quickly becoming a crisis of widespread mistrust. AI has opened up numerous opportunities for growth and efficiency, but if not implemented responsibly, it can be catastrophic for a company. Thankfully, there is a way to not only responsibly use AI, but also to use AI to develop long-term customer trust and loyalty.

    Join Olivia Gambelin, a renowned expert in AI Ethics, in conversation on how to pursue ethical and profitable AI use cases through a new form of AI innovation that focuses on human well-being and values.
