The DevSecOps Days Istanbul Conference, organized under the leadership of the IT Association, continued at Borsa Istanbul with the participation of many technology experts from different parts of the world.
The event, of which Anadolu serves as the global communication partner, is organized with the theme “AI for DevSecOps.”
Speaking at the event, Ergonautic founder Andrew Clay Shafer spoke about artificial intelligence (AI) and tips for more efficient work in his speech titled “DevSecOps and Beyond.”
Following Shafer, Hasan Yasar from Carnegie Mellon University gave a presentation titled "Synergy between AI, Agile & DevSecOps" and emphasized the importance of AI in DevSecOps.
Pointing out that the AI technology used today has been around for a long time, Yasar said that with the increase in technological possibilities, these technologies are now accessible to everyone.
Pointing out that the biggest problem of AI is energy consumption, he said: “Using AI comes at a cost. Microsoft bought an island and will build a nuclear power plant to cover this cost."
Yasar emphasized that AI is a useful tool for writing code and noted that Microsoft has terminated the jobs of many people who write code.
Aaron Rinehart from Capital One made a presentation on chaos engineering and shared his perspective on this technology with the participants.
