The rapid development of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) and large language models (LLMs) is on the verge of fundamentally changing software architecture. In this talk, we will take a “look into the crystal ball” to explore what impact these technologies will have on traditional architectural decisions, code lifecycle and human-machine interaction.

We will explore how the use of LLMs could lead to traditional architectural issues such as choice of programming language becoming less important, while new challenges arise in the areas of security and ethical responsibility. We will also discuss the potential benefits of more automated and optimized development practices enabled by these technologies.

This talk is aimed at software architects, developers and technology enthusiasts who want to understand how GenAI and LLMs will shape the future architecture of our software landscapes. Together we will take an informed look at the future of software development and discuss how we as professionals can prepare for it.
