Malignant Intelligence - Prompt Engineering and Software Archeology

Explore the rapidly evolving landscape of generative artificial intelligence in this thought-provoking keynote address from NDC Oslo 2023. Delve into the potential implications of AI-driven tools on software development, examining how they may alter the level of abstraction for developers and questioning whether "prompt engineering" will become an essential skill. Investigate the ethical dilemmas, security concerns, and open questions surrounding the future of software engineering as the field approaches a potential turning point. Gain insights into the challenges of maintaining legacy code and consider how generative AI might impact the longevity and evolution of software systems. Engage with critical discussions on the transformative power of AI in the software industry and its far-reaching consequences for developers and organizations alike.
