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

Wednesday February 19, 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.

[Virtual] PRO Session: Pushing the Boundary of What's Possible with Code AI

Wednesday February 19, 2025 1:00pm - 1:25pm PST

VIRTUAL AI DevWorld Main Stage

YK Sugi, Sourcegraph, Senior AI Developer Advocate

In this talk, we’ll walk through how we at Sourcegraph think about the boundary of what’s possible with Code AI. We’ll start with an example from OpenAI, setting the stage for how you can think about these boundaries. Then, I’ll dive into specific ways we’ve pushed these limits—whether through a new version of autocomplete or an agentic chat experience.

Finally, we’ll step back and explore how you can think about the boundaries of your own AI system, in any domain, and make the right decisions and execute on them to stay competitive. To wrap it all up, I’ll share something I’ve recently started looking into - an idea & a prototype that I find particularly exciting.

[Virtual] KEYNOTE (AI DevWorld): The Agentic Workforce Revolution: How to Futureproof Your Governance Framework

Wednesday February 19, 2025 2:00pm - 2:25pm PST

VIRTUAL AI DevWorld Main Stage

Manish Rai, Snaplogic, VP of Product Marketing

The rise of AI agents shows no sign of slowing down, with the market projected* to grow tenfold from $5 billion in 2024 to nearly $50 billion by 2030. By this time, generative AI will be table stakes, and business and IT leaders will instead be grappling with how to manage an entire workforce of AI agents carrying out a range of automated tasks.

In an AI-powered future, enterprises are like gardens with AI agents as gardeners, helping the landscapers maintain the estate. These agents are smart, self sufficient tools, and excel at specific tasks, but if the tool shed is disorganized they will be slowed down — or worse, use the wrong soil or seeds and cause irreparable damage, preventing the garden from blooming to its full potential. To avoid this, organizations must keep their tools in order.

In this session, Manish Rai will explore a range of considerations for enterprises as they implement and scale a team of AI agents to set themselves up for long-term success. It will encompass topics such as function management, and how to govern the tools AI agents will have access to — while maintaining guardrails. As use cases for AI agents expand to non-technical teams, Rai will also discuss key stakeholders for overseeing implementation to prevent shadow data. Finally, he will provide tips for organizations seeking to rework their overall data governance framework to meet the moment head on, and be prepared for a new agentic workforce.

[Virtual] OPEN Session: 10 Steps to Transform RAG from POC to Production: The Hidden Complexity of RAG

Wednesday February 19, 2025 2:30pm - 2:55pm PST

VIRTUAL AI DevWorld Stage

Neelesh Pateriya, Cisco Systems, Principal Engineer

In this talk, we will explore the journey of the Cisco DevNet engineering team as we transformed a simple Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) proof of concept (POC) into a robust, production-ready application for developer.cisco.com. While creating a basic RAG demo is straightforward, scaling it to meet production standards involves navigating a myriad of challenges and complexities. This session will provide a step-by-step guide to the key aspects of this transformation, including vector indexing, model selection, prompt engineering, agent frameworks, security, user feedback, and continuous improvement.
