About the session
Theme: AI | Quality
Working with AI feels mandatory at this point. This is exhilarating and daunting all at once.
If I automate away as much of my job as possible, what does that leave?
Will that be valuable enough to make a living?
What could I pivot to? What should I pivot to? How do I do that?
If you manage, lead, or work alongside anyone in a quality or testing role, this talk will help you understand what they're grappling with and why it matters to the whole team. If you're in that role yourself, this talk is for you.
Participant takeaways:
- Competing with AI on test script generation is a losing game
- Competing with AI on understanding complex systems, identifying risk and explaining failure is where durable human value lives
- The biggest challenge isn’t a skills gap - it’s an identity shift from operating in service of someone else’s product to using your own judgement about what’s worth building
