The role of coders is changing. We are now entering a new epoch driven by big data, semantic computing, machine learning & artificial intelligence, and 5G. “So, what does this all mean for coders?” – During this session, we will consider what coding for the future will look like.

Key takeaways:

• Understand the importance of continuous learning to keep pace with new open source ecosystems and tools
• Recognise that data, algorithms, neural networks, and natural language processing are becoming increasingly intertwined in code
• Examine the requirement of more end-to-end systems knowledge than before in the coding community
• Explore what this means in the future – should we all be seeking to become data scientists?
• Envisioning a future of human coders - what does it look like with the advent of AI-enabled self-coding?
