Explore a thought-provoking 47-minute conference talk from GOTO Chicago 2024 where Matt Welsh, Chief Architect at Aryn.ai, presents a revolutionary vision for computing's future. Discover how AI and Large Language Models are not just changing the computing industry but potentially replacing conventional software entirely. Learn why Welsh believes this shift will democratize programming, making computing accessible to everyone rather than just a "priesthood of programmers." The presentation covers Welsh's current AI-assisted programming workflow, the limitations of current systems like RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation), and introduces LUNA, a natural language computer concept. Follow along as Welsh outlines how computer science must evolve to embrace this AI-driven future and why, despite legitimate concerns about job displacement, this technological revolution could ultimately benefit all of humanity by removing barriers to computing.
