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.

OPEN Session: Scaling Secure, Codeless Mobile App Development and Continuous Monitoring in CI/CD for DevOps Teams
Wednesday February 12, 2025 10:00am - 10:25am PST
Karen Hsu, Appdome, SVP Mobile DevOps & Security Solutions

In the fast-paced world of DevOps, delivering secure, functional mobile apps quickly and efficiently is critical. This session is tailored for DevOps engineers and leaders looking to streamline mobile app development by incorporating code-less, secure app building, automated testing, and continuous monitoring into their CI/CD pipelines. Attendees will learn how to:
Integrate Secure Mobile App Builds Without Code or SDKs:

1. Automatically build critical security features such as encryption, fraud/malware/social engineering prevention, and threat detection directly into the mobile app, without writing any additional code or relying on third-party SDKs.
Automate Testing in CI/CD: Seamlessly integrate no-code security testing and scriptless functional testing into your CI/CD workflows. This ensures that each code push automatically triggers comprehensive testing, identifying any issues with secured apps before deployment—without requiring manual intervention.

2. Implement Continuous Threat Detection: Incorporate real-time threat detection for all your mobile apps. Then automate builds with protections against live attacks in your CI/CD pipeline. By closing the loop between security monitoring and app development, teams can ensure their apps are secure post-deployment and protected against evolving threats.

3. Optimize CI/CD Workflows for Faster Delivery: Implement a fully automated, end-to-end process that ensures every app build is secure, functional, and continuously monitored for potential threats. DevOps teams will learn how to accelerate their app delivery timelines without sacrificing security or performance, leveraging CI/CD tools like Jenkins, GitLab CI, and CircleCI, Bitrise and Azure DevOps.

This session will include a live demonstration showing how DevOps teams can integrate these capabilities into their existing CI/CD workflows, enabling faster, secure, and scalable mobile app delivery.

KEYNOTE: DigitalOcean -- AI Democratization: Enabling Developers of All Sizes
Wednesday February 12, 2025 1:00pm - 1:25pm PST
Bratin Saha, DigitalOcean, Chief Product and Technology Officer

Artificial intelligence (AI) seems to be taking all industries by storm. Still, the sad reality is that so far, these changes are afforded to and created by large players who have the resources to develop AI technology. But if we are to unlock the full potential and promise of this technology, the future of AI development needs to be shaped by developers in companies of all sizes, even if they are resource-constrained. This session will explore how democratizing AI tools, platforms, and knowledge can accelerate innovation, bridge skill gaps, and empower the next generation of AI technology creators.

Technology tends to follow the path of democratization. From an infrastructure layer to a platform layer to finally the application layer, making the technology accessible to everyday users should be the natural progression. AI will soon move from the foundational models developed by companies like Anthropic and Open AI to applications that allow users to interact with unique and useful AI tools in their daily lives. This will be made possible by lowering barriers to entry through open-source frameworks, user-friendly APIs, and collaborative ecosystems so AI can become a tool for everyone, not just a privileged few.

Attendees will leave this talk with practical insights on how companies can ensure the efficient and equitable development of AI through the steps needed to enable developers with AI infrastructure, simplify AI platforms and empower developers with AI-driven applications.
