Artificial Intelligence is rapidly changing how software is built, raising an important question: what does the future hold for developers? This keynote explores how the role of developers is evolving in the age of AI. Rather than replacing developers, AI is shifting their focus from writing code to designing systems, orchestrating intelligent tools, and ensuring security, reliability, and governance at scale.
