So AI is writing my code - now what?

The way we develop software is rapidly changing. AI can generate code much faster than the speed humans can read, let alone review and get familiar with. So how can we stay in control of the code we own? In the August meetup of Haifa::C++, Amir Kirsh and Alex Romanov will help us avoid the pitfalls involved in AI-generated software.

Agenda:
17:30 - Gathering and mingling @ NVIDIA Yokneam
18:00 - Opening words
18:10 - So AI is writing my code - now what?
19:10 - TBD: additional short talk or wrap-up.

Talk abstract:
AI is already writing your code. The real question is: what do you know about the code it writes?
This talk focuses on how to maintain and reason about code quality when much of the code is no longer written directly by humans. We will introduce a specific, practical approach for working effectively with AI-generated code, one that helps developers stay in control, systematically evaluate outcomes, and avoid the subtle pitfalls that arise when delegation replaces authorship. The emphasis is not on prompting tricks, but on a disciplined way of thinking about design, verification, and responsibility in an AI-assisted workflow.
While code examples will be in C++, the ideas are language-agnostic. Even if you do not write C++, or strongly prefer not to, you will find the techniques directly applicable to your own language and development environment.
If you think you have already heard enough about coding with AI, this is the talk you have not heard yet, with practical action items you will apply immediately.
