Session
AI, Accessibility and 1.6 billion people
In the rapidly evolving world of technology, the tools we harness today shape the future we build tomorrow. As a Principal Cloud Advocate at Microsoft, I've had the unique opportunity to work at the forefront of this transformation, particularly in the realm of AI and developer tooling.
In this talk, I will guide you through an exploration of four revolutionary tools that are redefining the boundaries of software development: OpenAI, ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot, and VSCode. We'll delve into how these tools are enhancing developer productivity, improving software quality, and even automating the process of code generation and bug fixing. I'll also be showcasing live demos using VSCode, a tool that I've had the privilege of helping reach 2 million active Java developers.
But our journey won't stop there. I'll also introduce you to a unique bot, powered by OpenAI and Playwright, that identifies and rectifies accessibility issues automatically. This bot is not just a theoretical concept, but a practical tool that is already making a difference for the 1.6 billion people who use Windows.
As we navigate this landscape together, we'll not only gain a deeper understanding of these revolutionary tools but also explore the broader implications they hold for our industry and the world at large. We'll discuss how AI and developer tooling can make technology more accessible and inclusive, and how we can all contribute to this important mission.
This is more than a session—it's a journey into the future of AI in developer tooling and accessibility, and I can't wait to share it with you.
