About this talk
This talk features David Burns, Head of Developer Advocacy and Open Source at BrowserStack, who discusses the implications of AI-assisted development tools like GitHub Copilot and ChatGPT.

The session examines real-world examples of AI-generated code causing unintended consequences and offers practical strategies for maintaining a strong foundational knowledge while effectively utilizing AI tools. Attendees will gain insights into balancing AI usage with the essential skills necessary for creating high-quality, maintainable software.
