The excitement around AI continues to grow, but can AI actually help us create software architectures? This session explores the opportunities and risks of using AI as a design collaborator in architectural decision-making. Attendees will examine where AI can provide meaningful assistance, such as exploring design alternatives, visualizing system components, and identifying trade-offs, and where human judgment remains essential to ensure context, coherence, and alignment with business goals. The session offers practical guidance on integrating AI into the architectural process responsibly, leveraging its strengths while avoiding common pitfalls.
What You Will Learn
The advantages and limitations of using AI for software architecture design
How to meaningfully integrate AI tools into architectural workflows
Best practices for maintaining human oversight and avoiding overreliance on automation
Who Should Attend
Software architects, developers, and technical leaders interested in responsibly applying AI to the design and decision-making processes in architecture.
