Title: 

Don’t Be Scared of AI! It’s Here to Stay and So are You

Abstract

AI is here to stay and we know it’s going to change our world. There is so much information about AI that it’s hard to know where to start, what to learn, what to ignore, and what to believe. How do we tester’s cope up with this new technology and will this technology bring an end to our field of work? Join Aprajita Mathur as she shares basics of AI and why AI is not just about “Test Bots” or “Robotics”. She will discuss how testers add/can add value in AI, what testing skills are transferable when working with these systems and how to leverage tools available today, rather than being scared of them.
