The rise of AI technologies is revolutionizing the way developers approach software engineering. From GitHub Copilot to ChatGPT, DALL-E, and Midjourney, AI is increasingly being integrated into the software development process, providing developers with new tools to enhance their productivity and improve the quality of their code.

However, the integration of AI into software engineering is not without its challenges. In this talk, I’ll explore the current state of AI technologies and how they are being integrated into Android development. I’ll discuss how AI can assist developers with small tasks, allowing them to cover larger distances, and how it can be used to identify and fix bugs more quickly and accurately.

I’ll also examine the dangers and pitfalls of AI-assisted engineering, how AI may endanger the development community ecosystem, as well as how it may be used by management and executives to the detriment of engineering and high-quality code. Finally, I will offer insights into how developers can best navigate these challenges and take full advantage of the benefits that AI technologies have to offer.
