AI is learning to write code, and it's happening faster than many realize. This panel discussion at DeveloperWeek 2025 explores the cutting edge of AI code generation, focusing on how these systems are being trained with human data to produce increasingly sophisticated and reliable code. More importantly, we'll examine what this means for engineering organizations – and the leaders who guide them.
Join our expert panel as they discuss:
- The Human-AI Feedback Loop: Delve into the fascinating ways human expertise is being used to train LLMs for code generation. We'll explore techniques like reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF), the importance of diverse and high-quality datasets, and the ethical considerations of using human data in AI development.
- The Evolving Role of the Software Engineer: Discuss how AI code generation tools are reshaping the roles and responsibilities within engineering teams. We'll examine the potential for increased productivity, the need for new skillsets (like prompt engineering and AI collaboration), and the changing dynamics between developers and AI assistants.
- Leading the AI Transformation: Gain practical insights and strategies for engineering leaders navigating this new era. We'll discuss how to adapt hiring practices, upskill existing teams, foster a culture of continuous learning, and measure the ROI of AI code generation within your organization.
- The Future of Software Leadership: Explore the long-term implications of AI for engineering leadership. We'll discuss the potential for increased innovation, the challenges of managing AI-augmented teams, and the ethical responsibilities of leading in an AI-driven world.
This session is essential for engineering managers, directors, and CTOs who want to understand how AI is changing the game and prepare their teams for the future of software development.
