Hannah Foxwell - Do Platform Engineers Need to Care About GenAI? (Spoiler Alert, Yes!)

GenerativeAI changes everything. GenerativeAI changes nothing. Sometimes I think we’ve collectively lost our minds when we talk about GenAI. I don’t want to add to the hype, there’s already too much nonsense out there. This talk is grounded in the reality of the technology today. We’re going back to basics, with a sprinkle of AI Agents. Let’s talk about Developer Productivity, Security, Reliability, User Experience… the unchanging fundamentals of Platform Engineering that are as important as ever in the world of GenAI. What role do Platform Engineers have to play in the inevitable AI transformation that’s coming? You might be surprised how significant your role is! In this talk Hannah will propose that Platform Engineering is critical for success with GenAI, and will share how your team can get started today.
