Presentation Title:
Will AI Replace Software Engineers?
Our 100k-Engineer Stanford Study Says… Not So Fast
Presentation Summary:
Every company is scrambling to adopt AI, yet most can’t quantify the ROI, and recent studies suggest the majority of these initiatives fail. After years of bold predictions and hype cycles, it’s time to replace guesswork with data.
This session cuts through the noise to reveal the truth behind AI’s impact on developer productivity, backed by a landmark Stanford study of more than 100,000 engineers.
