KEYNOTE (AI DevWorld): Stack Overflow -- Why Building Trust in AI Is Key to Healthy Knowledge Ecosystem

Wednesday February 12, 2025 9:30am - 9:55am PST

Prashanth Chandrasekar, Stack Overflow, CEO

The internet and its business models are changing. For the last 16 years, Stack Overflow has been at the forefront, helping to shape the future of the web. In this time of disruption comes a necessary time to reflect, change, and break the norms of ‘this is how it's always been done.’ With the expansion of generative AI, many LLM providers are not allowing the world to operate as it has previously. Instead, a new paradigm has emerged: content created by thousands of creators across the Open Web is now being used to train models without respect or attribution for the original creator.

Consequently, in the current transformation, human-centered sources of knowledge are obscured. We face a world in which the old paradigms are no longer paramount, and their places in the world are redefined. Companies and organizations lucky enough to host these engines of knowledge production are at a decision point; how do they continue to monetize when the technological landscapes have changed? A change in strategy will allow these companies, AI tools, and the communities and data sets that power them to thrive.

CEO Prashanth Chandrasekar shares why in the GenAI era, trust in data is key to driving innovation, improving the developer experience, and building thriving knowledge communities.

PRO Session: Building an Advanced Software Engineering Agent

Wednesday February 12, 2025 1:00pm - 1:25pm PST

AI DevWorld Main Stage

YK Sugi, Sourcegraph, Senior AI Developer Advocate

This presentation details the development of an experimental software engineering agent designed to answer complex questions about codebases. The core innovation lies in a graph-based approach where the agent iteratively gathers contextual information, using self-reflection to assess its confidence in answering the query. By treating accumulated context as a set and employing a greedy best-first search guided by confidence scores, the system aims to efficiently navigate the codebase and provide accurate answers. Initial findings are promising, with future benchmarks on real-world software engineering challenges planned to further validate its capabilities.
