Istanbul: 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.
According to Anadolu Agency, the event, of which Anadolu serves as the global communication partner, is organized with the theme 'AI for DevSecOps.' Ergonautic founder Andrew Clay Shafer delivered a speech titled 'DevSecOps and Beyond,' discussing artificial intelligence (AI) and tips for more efficient work. Following Shafer, Hasan Yasar from Carnegie Mellon University emphasized the importance of AI in DevSecOps during his presentation "Synergy between AI, Agile and DevSecOps."
Yasar highlighted that AI technology has been around for a long time but is now more accessible due to increased technological possibilities. He noted the significant energy consumption challenge of AI, stating, "Using AI comes at a cost. Microsoft bought an island and will build a nuclear power plant to cover this cost." Additionally, Yasar mentioned that AI is a valuable tool for writing code, which has led to Microsoft terminating many coding jobs.
