The world of software development is rapidly evolving, driven by increasing pressure to deliver faster, yet with fewer resources, and the widespread adoption of generative AI tools.

At this year's All Day DevOps (ADDO) event, Frank Roe, CEO of SmartBear, will tackle these challenges head-on in his keynote presentation titled "Revolutionizing Software Development: The Critical Balance Between AI and Human Insight."

All Day DevOps: A premier global DevOps event

ADDO has earned its place as the largest global DevOps event, bringing together over 180,000 professionals for 24 hours of continuous learning.

Covering a wide range of topics such as DevOps, DevSecOps, and emerging technologies, ADDO's focus is on helping teams transform how they build and secure software.

Roe's keynote offers fresh insights into the role of AI in shaping the future of software development.

AI's role in software development: Efficiency vs. human insight

While AI might promise unprecedented efficiency gains in software development, it cannot replace the critical thinking and problem-solving skills that human professionals bring to the table.

According to Roe, the industry is at a crossroads. High-profile software failures and security breaches highlight the risks of relying too heavily on automated tools without the human oversight necessary to ensure quality and reliability.

Roe will delve into how the industry can strike the right balance between leveraging AI's capabilities and maintaining rigorous software standards. He'll discuss the role of human insight in preventing software failures and how AI, when used correctly, can serve as a powerful ally rather than a potential risk factor.

Why this matters for DevOps and DevSecOps professionals

For those working in DevOps and DevSecOps, this keynote is especially relevant. AI tools are becoming ubiquitous in the software development life cycle, but the industry must learn to use them responsibly.

Roe will outline actionable steps for maintaining this balance, ensuring that AI enhances rather than compromises the quality of software output.

Listeners will gain valuable insights into how to navigate this shift and ensure that human expertise remains central to the software development process. Whether you're already using AI tools or considering their adoption, this session will provide the guidance needed to stay ahead in the rapidly changing tech landscape.
