AI is reshaping how engineers work but what does that actually look like at scale? Drawing on data and patterns from more than 500 organizations, we break down the five most significant trends emerging in AI-assisted engineering today. This fast-paced theater session cuts through the hype to deliver concrete, evidence-based insights that engineering leaders can act on immediately. Key takeaways: Discover the top 5 AI-assisted engineering trends observed across 500+ organizations Understand how leading teams are integrating AI into their engineering workflows Leave with actionable strategies to apply at your organization

Headlines claim AI is transforming software engineering overnight. Across more than 400 engineering organizations, we see patterns that challenge the hype and reveal what's really working, and what isn't, when AI enters the software development lifecycle. In this talk, Justin Reock, Deputy CTO at DX, will share a data-driven "state of the union" on AI in engineering, grounded in both quantitative data from thousands of developers and on-the-ground observations. You'll learn: The current impact of AI, from benchmarks on the percentage of code authored, team PR throughput, and time savings Where AI adoption is creating real gains in throughput, and whether it introduces tradeoffs for quality and maintainability Insights and trends, including whether junior or senior developers are seeing bigger gains, the impact of structured rollouts, which tools are having the most impact, and the evolving definition of "developer" The session will conclude with a practical framework for measuring AI's impact, helping leaders cut through hype and understand the impact AI is having in their own organizations.
