Yassss. Looking forward to it.

This is such a good point and why it's so important to have critical thinking when using the tools available to you. We touch on ethics in this talk too but don't have time for the ethics deep dive which is another talk.

Want to hear about AI developer tools, how to get the most out of AI, and what skills you need to stay ahead of the curve?
