We all know AI is here to stay. It's woven into every part of our lives, and increasingly so in our professional lives as software engineers and architects. Now, it's time to ask the harder question: What does successful AI adoption actually look like inside real engineering teams? For October's Software Crafters Bristol session, Codurance is delighted to host a panel discussion exploring the good, the bad and the ugly of AI-powered software delivery. The session, hosted by Codurance, will feature guest speakers from the Bristol tech community, including: \- Jamie Loudon \- Principal Engineer at Babcock and Creator of Campaigns Never Die\, \- Justin Paul \- Marketing Director \- Open Gateway \- GSMA Together, they'll share their perspectives on how AI is reshaping software delivery in practice, including where it is genuinely accelerating delivery, where it is creating new risks, and how teams can adopt it without compromising quality, security, scalability, or engineering discipline. Key discussion themes will include: * Why craftsmanship, shared understanding and maintainable code are critical in the age of AI * Why engineering guardrails matter more than ever * What responsible AI-powered engineering looks like in practice, with real examples of how teams are adopting AI * Real-life examples of how to move faster without losing control of quality, security or architecture * What AI is actually changing inside engineering teams * Where AI is accelerating delivery, and where it is introducing risk * How AI is changing the way experienced and early-career engineers build, learn and make decisions **Who should attend** Anyone in Bristol or the surrounding areas with an interest in software, engineering, or problem-solving, across all industries and experience levels. **Food and Drinks** Pizza and drinks will be provided upon arrival sponsored by Codurance, with vegetarian and vegan options available.
