Staying Human in the Age of AI: What Tech Leaders Need to Preserve
While AI tools excel at generating code, they can't navigate the human complexities that make or break technical decisions. As senior engineers, our value increasingly lies not in what we code, but in how we lead teams through technical choices that reflect our values and culture.Through real examples of how values conflicts disguise themselves as technical disagreements, this session explores what tech leaders need to preserve and strengthen as AI reshapes our industry. You'll discover practical tools for uncovering team values and learn to make technical decisions that account for both code and culture in an AI-driven world.
