Will AI Kill the App?

Generative AI has upended our understanding of what AI can do. Will it change how we use computers altogether?

Join us on the 9th May for a briefing with Mike Mason, Chief AI Officer, Thoughtworks; Birgitta Böckeler, AI-First Software Delivery Lead, Thoughtworks; and WIRED Consulting’s Charlie Burton.

Over 30 minutes, our panel will examine how generative AI is changing software. Its flair for writing code is already transforming how software is made—but this is only the beginning. Some believe AI will spark a generational shift in how we use computers, giving us truly “smart assistants” capable of either operating other tools on our behalf, or independently performing tasks that once required purpose-built software. As a wave of startups aims to bring app-killing devices to market, we ask: Is this the future, or is it merely hype?

Register today.
