Large language models are already disrupting the way we work. Yet, their true potential does not rest solely on algorithmic power or the sophistication of the underlying technology. It also—and perhaps most importantly—depends on our ability to collaborate effectively with them.
This closing keynote invites you to discover what our daily professional lives could look like if we invested as much in our conversational skills with AI as we do in developing the technological models themselves. What impact could this evolution have on the labor market? How will it transform professional practices and the role of engineers?
After all, the next great engineering frontier may lie less in the code itself, and more in our collective ability to learn… and to let ourselves be surprised!
