About this Session

As AI becomes embedded in every layer of product development, the role of the engineer is undergoing a profound shift. In this talk, we explore how engineers can evolve their skills and mindset to stay relevant and thrive in an AI-driven workplace.

The session will cover three key dimensions of change:

  • New Technical Capabilities, such as prompt engineering, agent orchestration, and the use of AI tools throughout the engineering lifecycle.
  • Evolving Creativity, where engineers learn to partner with AI systems, adapting their working practices and creativity within cross-functional teams.
  • Strategic Skills, as engineers shift from solving technical problems to addressing business and customer challenges. The ability to translate technology into value, engage deeply with stakeholders, and understand the impact of engineering decisions beyond code will define the next generation of successful engineers.

This talk invites engineers to see AI not as a threat but as a catalyst for human creativity, adaptability, and long-term impact.
