Will AI Replace My Job? A Town Hall for Software Developers

About the Session
Will AI replace my job? What happens to my role as a developer, architect, or engineering leader in the next 1–2 years — or 5–7? These are the questions we’re hearing from software professionals everywhere.
In this special closing session at GIDS 2025, join Venkat Subramaniam and a panel of industry voices (including Birgitta Boeckeler, Scott Davis, Ken Sipe and James Ward) for a candid, high-energy town hall on how AI is transforming the work of software teams, now and in the years to come.
We will explore:
- Which roles and tasks are changing fastest, and which are here to stay
- What developers and engineering leads can do to stay relevant
- How AI will reshape teams, workflows, and expectations
- And what a future-ready career might look like in the age of AI
You’ll hear fresh perspectives, bold predictions, and honest takes, with time for live audience Q&A. Real concerns from the community will also guide the discussion.
No slides. No sugar-coating. Just an open conversation about what’s coming, and how to get ready for it.
