Name: AI as a Modernization Partner, Not a Silver Bullet (Sponsored by Google Cloud)
Start: 2025-06-24T22:30:00.000Z
Location: Google Austin

Every enterprise has legacy systems that "just work" until they don't. While AI promises to magically modernize decades-old codebases into cloud-native architectures, the reality isn't that cut and dry.

Join us as we cut through the hype to show how AI, combined with the right platforms and cloud infrastructure, delivers real value in modernization efforts. We'll explore how AI excels at the grunt work developers hate: code archaeology, pattern recognition, and mechanical transformations. You'll discover why single-model approaches fail and learn practical multi-model strategies that work for you.

We'll cover technical details using Google Cloud and Vertex AI for enterprise-grade model hosting, whether as a SaaS service or on-premises through Google Distributed Cloud Air-Gapped for organizations with strict data sovereignty requirements. We'll also show how platforms like Coder can leverage GC infrastructure to provide secure development environments. Additionally, we'll share approaches for building stakeholder trust, and explain why humans remain irreplaceable in the process. Most importantly, you'll learn how to build human-AI partnerships that deliver real value.

Whether you're dealing with COBOL monoliths or planning your modernization strategy, this event will give you what you need to leverage AI as a powerful tool in your modernization efforts.

**What You’ll Learn**

* How to apply AI to automate code archaeology, pattern recognition, and mechanical transformations in legacy systems
* Practical strategies for enterprise-grade AI model hosting using Google Cloud, Vertex AI, and Google Distributed Cloud Air-Gapped
* How to build secure, scalable human-AI development workflows with platforms like Coder — and why humans remain essential to success
