By now, it’s clear that Generative AI is reshaping every stage of the software development lifecycle. But what does that mean for CTOs—the people responsible for driving technical excellence and fostering innovation?

My time as a CTO happened to align with the rise of Generative AI. I embraced these unexplored tools, and in turn, they helped me automate repetitive tasks and boosted the speed and quality of my work. In this session, I’ll share how Generative AI is changing the way tech leaders operate, from decision-making, effort estimation, to rapid prototyping. We’ll dive deeper on concepts like AI agents, vibe coding, and multimodal models.

This talk is rated at level 200. While we’ll get into a lot technological concepts, the talk is designed to be accessible to a broader audience.
