Generative AI, with its ability to create content and generate code autonomously, is poised to revolutionize the future of technology and programming. By leveraging advanced machine learning algorithms, generative AI can assist developers in automating tedious tasks, accelerating software development cycles, and even generating entirely new solutions to complex problems. Furthermore, it has the potential to democratize programming by enabling individuals with limited coding experience to create sophisticated applications and tools. As generative AI continues to evolve, its impact on shaping the landscape of technology and programming will undoubtedly be profound, paving the way for innovation and creativity in ways previously unimaginable.
We had a roundtable discussion on the topic with a set of experienced and distinguished leaders in the industry. The session was moderated by Kashyap Raibagi, Associate Director – Growth at AIM along with panelists Yogananda Domlur Seetharama, Director of Data Science at Walmart Global Tech, Amberle Carter, Chief Data and Analytics officer at Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, Niharika Nanda, Vice President, Product Data & Analytics at Mastercard, Kalyana Bedhu, AI/ML Leader at Fannie Mae and Senguttuvan Thangaraju, Senior Director, Enterprise Data Governance at McKesson
The Rise of Gen AI in Technology
Over the past decade in this space, I have noticed the accumulation, accessibility and digitization of vast coding datasets, like those on GitHub, have been crucial in training Generative AI to assist in programming tasks. This data-driven evolution has enabled AI not just to support but to collaborate in the software development process, revolutionizing how we approach coding
