- **Event Name**: 2-Day Masterclass, IASI - AI Assisted Programming, with Venkat Subramaniam
- **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 05 May, 2026 at 09:30 am – Wed, 06 May, 2026 at 05:30 pm (+03:00)
- **Event Description**: We’re living in an exciting time. AI has clearly demonstrated enormous capabilities and yetis not highly reliable or even predictable for providing correct or factual responses.

How can we benefit from AI as programmers? Should we shy away from using it or jump in with full faith? How can we benefit without being burned by it?

Those are the questions we will answer in this workshop, by way of practical examples and hands-on exercises.In this workshop we will,not by talking, but by walking through many examples, see the power and the perils of AI for application development. We will tear thing apart to understand where it gives us the most benefits, and in areas where it is not reliable. We will identify the techniques we can use to make the best use of AI. We will look at how we can practically use AI tools and, in areas, vibe coding, and how to make sure the results are reliable, maintainable, and dependable.

The overall goal is for us to be able to use the powerful tools to accelerate the development of applications, but in a way that we can still standby and sign off the applications we are ultimately responsible to deliver.
