Human-AI Collaboration: Making Prudent Use of AI in Development

AI offers tremendous potential, but using it wisely is essential for both developers and organizations. This workshop begins with a brief discussion on the ethics, legality, and risks of using AI in software development, then shifts quickly to hands-on learning. Participants will work through real problems first by collaborating with other humans, then by using AI tools to tackle the same tasks. By comparing both approaches, attendees will gain practical insight into how to balance human creativity and AI efficiency for better results.

What You Will Learn

  • The ethical and practical considerations of using AI in software development

  • How to evaluate the strengths and limitations of AI-assisted coding

  • Techniques for combining human and AI collaboration effectively in real-world problem solving

Who Should Attend

Developers, engineering managers, and technical leads interested in using AI responsibly and effectively in software development workflows.
