- Don’t Fire Your Developers and Other Lessons for the AI Revolution.
AI is going to alter the world. Will it lead to a golden age, human extinction, or just one more technical advance? History tells us that the winners in the race will be those who best merge human capabilities with the power of AI. We’ll talk about how this is already playing out in analytics and open source software. Some of the changes will surprise you.
