Let’s talk about the future of software with AI
Virtual briefing: Will AI kill the app?
May 9, 2024 | 9.30am ET | 2.30pm BST | 7pm IST
Generative AI has upended our understanding of what AI can do. Will it change how we use computers altogether?
On May 9th, join us for a briefing with Mike Mason, Chief AI Officer, Thoughtworks; Birgitta Böckeler, AI-First Software Delivery Lead, Thoughtworks; and WIRED Consulting’s Charlie Burton to discuss just that.
In this 30-minute discussion, our panel will examine how generative AI is changing software development. Its flair for writing code is already transforming how software is made — but this is only the beginning. Some believe AI will spark a generational shift in how we use computers, giving us truly “smart assistants” capable of either operating other tools on our behalf, or independently performing tasks that once required purpose-built software. As a wave of startups aims to bring app-killing devices to market, we ask: Is this the future, or is it merely hype?
