SUMMARY:Code In Flux: Navigating the New Era of Software Development
DESCRIPTION:The world of software is in a constant state of evolution\, but the pace and nature of change in 2025 represent a fundamental inflection point. The rise of artificial intelligence\, a maturing cloud-native ecosystem\, and a new generation of programming languages are reshaping not just how we build software\, but who builds it and what is possible. \nJoin the Austin Forum on Technology & Society for a forward-looking presentation on the state of software in 2025. This event will dissect the key trends\, opportunities\, and challenges facing the developer community and our local tech industry. \nWe’ll explore: \nThe Shifting Landscape of Languages: Which programming languages are experiencing the fastest growth and why? We’ll discuss the continued dominance of Python in the age of AI\, the rise of performance-oriented languages like Rust and Go\, and the evolving role of mainstays like JavaScript and C++. \nThe Revolution in Developer Tools: From AI-powered code completion and conversational coding assistants to sophisticated cloud-native development environments and the emergence of “agentic” development\, we’ll examine the tools that are augmenting developer capabilities and supercharging productivity. \nThe Symbiotic Relationship Between AI and Coding: How is artificial intelligence fundamentally altering the craft of software development? We will discuss the impact of AI on everything from code generation and debugging to automated testing and deployment\, and what it means for code quality\, security\, and innovation at startups and tech giants alike. \nThe Future of the Developer: What kinds of developer roles will be most in-demand in the next one and five years? We’ll discuss the evolving skillset required to thrive in this new era\, the future of specialization versus generalist roles\, and the long-term outlook for the software engineering profession. \nWhether you’re a seasoned developer\, a tech leader navigating these changes\, or simply curious about the future of how our digital world is built\, this is a presentation you won’t want to miss. Come and engage with Austin’s top minds as we chart the course of software’s next chapter. \nSPEAKER \nTony Llongueras is a product engineer and founder who’s launched products across AI\, spatial computing\, blockchain\, and health-tech. From surgery simulators and a weekly VR conference in VR\, to an on-chain composable experience system and group AI assistants\, his work turns emerging tech into human-centered experiences. His current focus is on AI-driven data enrichment and “agentifying” interfaces —and he’s especially interested in how AI is reshaping not just the products we build\, but the teams and systems that build them.

SUMMARY:Exploring the Future of Artificial General Intelligence
DESCRIPTION:Join the Austin Forum on Technology & Society for an inspiring and thought-provoking evening as we screen the new documentary\, “The Thinking Game.“ Prepare to delve into one of the most critical conversations of our time: the rise of artificial general intelligence (AGI) and its potential impact on humanity. “The Thinking Game” offers a compelling look at the global race to create the first true AGI. The film provides a balanced perspective\, showcasing the brilliant minds pushing the boundaries of machine intelligence while also confronting the profound ethical dilemmas and existential risks involved. From labs where algorithms learn at an astonishing pace to philosophical debates about consciousness and control\, this documentary challenges us to consider the monumental power we are on the verge of unleashing. If we unleash it\, how do we ensure that an AGI truly aligns with complex human values? “The Thinking Game” brings this question and many others to the forefront. \nDoors – 6:30 \nScreening – 7:00 \nQ&A – 8:30-9:00 \nEngage with the Experts \nFollowing the screening\, don’t miss an exclusive Q&A session with a panel of leading AI researchers and ethicists. This is your opportunity to ask the tough questions and engage in a dynamic discussion about: \n\nThe potential timeline for AGI development.\nThe key differences between today’s AI and true AGI.\nThe societal benefits\, from solving climate change to curing disease.\nThe critical risks\, including misuse\, unintended consequences\, and the control problem.\nAustin’s growing role in the global AI landscape.\n\nWho Should Attend? \nThis event is for everyone—from tech professionals\, developers\, and data scientists to students\, policymakers\, and any community member curious about the future of technology and society. Whether you are deeply embedded in the world of AI or simply want to understand the technology that will shape our future\, this movie night will leave you informed\, inspired\, and ready to be part of the conversation.
