AI: Hero or Villain

Generative AI has captured the imagination of the public by storm, and it feels like there is a hot new large language model (LLM) being announced every other day. But as developers, we are trying to solve problems for people and make delightful experiences for them.
 
Is AI here to help, or to hurt? In this demo packed session, Scott dives into the science behind LLMs, explains what they can and can’t do, and uncovers how we can use generative AI to make our lives better as developers and humans.
