AI has arrived, and will not go anywhere. And just like "the Force", leverage AI you must. Going past the initial wild ride of fun poems generated by ChatGPT, let's look at how our future can be improved using AI, and how you can use AI to improve your skills, creativity and productivity, especially when it comes to programming in JavaScript.

Web AI libraries and models crossed over 1 billion downloads in the last 2 years alone. If you're not yet using machine learning on the client side, now is the time to see what's possible and the benefits it can bring your business over cloud based solutions - such as lower costs, privacy for your end users, and low latency responses suitable for real-time applications.

Learn what's new with the state of Web AI at Google and discover new generative AI models you can run client-side in the browser entirely offline along with key updates from Chrome, TensorFlow.js, MediaPipe, Core ML, Visual Blocks, and beyond.

A must see talk for anyone working in the web space (or is using JavaScript) so you can bring your AI powered ideas to life faster than ever before.

Description:
"Starting a tech career has never been easy, and doing it after the rise of AI can feel even more challenging.
This talk explores the key challenges juniors face in tech today and how to turn them into opportunities."

Bio:
Junior Frontend Developer at Whitby Wood, project-based learner, doing LeetCode on Twitch.

AI is transforming the global software industry, enabling developers to become more productive than ever before. Large engineering organizations must now adapt to leverage these opportunities and keep pace with this evolution .For engineering leaders, this transformation presents both opportunities and challenges. The shift to AI-assisted development requires thoughtful consideration to accelerate quality, productivity and collaboration.

As AI accelerates projects, we're likely to see a shift toward more product complexity and larger codebases rather than simply faster delivery. This is a pivotal moment for individual developers and organizations to share their experience going through this major paradigm shift.

Drawing from personal experience and Hinge Health's journey as a large React Native team, this talk presents practical strategies for managing the transition to AI-assisted development in a large engineering organization. We'll explore how AI is transforming our product development pipeline through changes in developer productivity and satisfaction, CI, technical writing, project planning, and tooling to handle growing codebase complexity.
