In this session, Brian will explore the rapidly evolving landscape of artificial intelligence and its impact on software development. As AI technologies continue to advance at an unprecedented pace, developers need to stay informed about the latest tools, frameworks, and best practices to remain competitive in this dynamic field.

Key topics include the current state of AI technologies and their applications in software development. What are the latest AI frameworks and libraries offering developers. How can you integrate AI agents and agentic capabilities into your applications. What new developer tools like Google's Jules coding agent, Windows AI Foundry, and GitHub Copilot enhancements are transforming how we build software. We'll explore the shift toward the "open agentic web" where AI systems work autonomously on behalf of users. Additionally, we'll cover ethical considerations and best practices for responsible AI development in 2025.

Whether you're an AI novice or an experienced machine learning practitioner, this session will provide valuable insights and practical knowledge to help you navigate the exciting world of AI-driven development. And yes, Brian acknowledges that by November 2025, there will undoubtedly be new developments and tools that didn't exist when this abstract was written—that's how fast this space moves. He’ll do highlight those “new” things where relevant.

You will learn:

• What's the current state of AI as of November 2025
• What are the latest tools and frameworks you can use to build AI-enabled applications
• How to leverage AI agents and agentic systems in your development workflow
• What to consider when adding AI capabilities to your applications
