Session Abstract

Adoption of AI-powered tools for development is trending. It changes the way we write and ship code, simplifies collaboration, and fundamentally changes how we can prevent vulnerabilities from entering our code. How can we use AI assistants to build and ship with confidence? In my session, we use GitHub Copilot as an example to illustrate which measures are in place "out of the box" and where to pay special attention to ensure your code follows security standards.

Note to event organizers
