Session Abstract

This lecture examines AI's impact on software development, advocating thoughtful adoption over blind acceptance. It explores how overreliance on AI tools can weaken programming skills and critical thinking, while highlighting areas where human judgment remains essential—particularly in security, architecture, and debugging. The discussion emphasizes balancing AI assistance with maintaining fundamental programming competencies for effective development. It does not mater how got the copilot is, the pilot is still flying the plane.
