Develop Through Dialogue: Keeping Humans in the Loop

Fri, April 24 at 3:10 PM - 3:40 PM GMT+5:30DeepTech TechLead

As AI becomes integral to software development, keeping humans actively involved is essential for ensuring ethical, accurate, and context-aware systems. This session explores how continuous human guidance strengthens everything from chatbots to advanced AI agentic systems. It examines the current state of AI-driven development, where human oversight remains critical, and how it enables more responsible decision-making and complex problem-solving. The session also features a live demonstration of creating a governed chatbot using company-specific data, in just 60 seconds instead of six months, illustrating how human-in-the-loop design leads to faster, safer, and more trustworthy AI outcomes.

What You Will Learn

  • How to integrate human feedback loops into AI and software development workflows

  • The boundaries between automated and human decision-making in AI systems

  • A practical demonstration of rapidly building a governed, company-specific chatbot

Who Should Attend

AI developers, software engineers, data scientists, and technology leaders focused on building responsible, context-aware, and human-guided AI applications.
