Software Development in the Age of Generative AI

Title - Software Development in the Age of Generative AI

GenAI can help accelerate and democratise the software development process by making code easier to write, maintain and change.

But there is no free lunch and we risk baking in technical debt or, worse case scenario, vulnerabilities into our codebase.

We have two complementary Tech Talks looking at both sides of the argument:

1. Pair Programming with a Digital Assistant and more

Paul Hodgkinson - GitHub

GitHub Copilot is the poster child for the new paradigm of pair programming with an AI digital assistant.

2. Risks of AI-generated code

Pete Beck - IOActive

What could possibly go wrong when you delegate the task of generating code to an AI digital assistant?

Agenda

Two Tech Talks (45 minutes each) followed by 30 minutes of AMA (Ask Me Anything) Q&A and discussion.
