The Future of Software

Anne Currie

Get ready for a dynamic discussion diving into the biggest challenges and opportunities in Responsible AI. How is AI changing the job market—are we looking at a future of mass displacement, or can we turn the tide toward a transformed and empowered workforce? We’ll also tackle the big questions: What about AI’s massive energy demands? Are regulations like the EU AI Act helping or holding back innovation? And with AI advancing at lightning speed, how do we keep it ethical and under control—can DevOps Guardrails do the job?
