The evolution of artificial intelligence (AI) provides a compelling narrative of innovation and cautionary lessons. Drawing on the themes explored in Rebels of Reason, a new book by John Willis, this presentation emphasizes the critical importance of historical context for systems engineers navigating AI's rapid advancements. From the mechanical wonders of the Industrial Age to Turing’s computational breakthroughs and Frank Rosenblatt's early neural network experiments, the story of AI is a testament to the ingenuity and persistent challenges that shape technological progress.
10+
11+
Understanding these milestones offers systems engineers a foundation to anticipate future challenges, including ethical considerations, societal impact, and technological limitations. By reflecting on the successes and missteps of AI pioneers, engineers can draw valuable insights to balance innovation with responsibility. This presentation underscores that the road forward is guided by the lessons of the past—lessons that advocate for cautious optimism, interdisciplinary collaboration, and a commitment to ethical innovation in creating systems that truly serve humanity.

Artificial intelligence is rapidly changing the landscape of software development, promising increased efficiency and innovation. But are development teams truly leveraging its full potential?
11+
12+
Drawing on the latest findings from DORA's research, we will reveal the complex reality of AI's impact on developer experience. We'll explore both the significant advantages and the unexpected pitfalls that teams are encountering. More importantly, you'll learn actionable strategies to integrate AI effectively, avoid common pitfalls, and create a culture of continuous improvement.

The value of the new genAI capabilities shine when they really become part of our daily workflows.
10+
11+
In this talk I’ll take you through the engineering workflow, from ideas to production and how genAI technology is making an impact there. From the simple asking questions to GPTs all the way to agents acting on our behalf. No role will go untouched , from product owner, over developer all the way to support and operations. Using real world examples showing the collaborative power this new technology has to enhance us to do a better job.
12+
13+
As this is so much work in progress, I will bring realism on where we are in practice and what is coming up next. This should give you a better grasp of its power beyond the first experiences you may have had and understand the rough edges of the current reality.
14+
15+
Get ready for a high paced and humorous overview to learn more on the exciting technology wave we’re currently experiencing. Buckle up!
