Generative AI is no longer a sidekick for writing code. It is reshaping the entire software development lifecycle as we know it.
From ideation and design, through coding, testing, security, deployment, and operations, AI is becoming a first‑class participant in how software is built and maintained. In this keynote, we’ll explore the current state of generative AI across the SDLC, separating reality from hype and tools from transformation.
We’ll look at how AI is changing developer workflows today, what agentic systems mean for planning, reviews, and delivery, and how teams are rethinking quality, security, and ownership when AI becomes part of the loop. This session will also cover the emerging patterns, risks, and opportunities that matter now, including governance, trust, and the shift from prompt‑based assistance to autonomous agents.
Whether you’re building, leading, or learning, this talk offers a grounded view of where generative AI is already making an impact, where it’s heading next, and what it means for the future of software engineering.
