About this talk

This keynote examines the evolving landscape of software development in response to generative and non-declarative systems that challenge traditional notions of certainty and correctness. The speaker discusses how these systems produce probabilistic, emergent outputs that introduce ambiguity, forcing developers and organizations to rethink their approaches to software design and trust. Key topics include the implications for defining correctness and effective strategies for managing ambiguity while still building reliable systems. This talk offers practical insights into navigating these new challenges in the AI-native software era.
