Kristof Van Tomme: AI Readiness - Preparing for a World Mediated by AI

What are some of the changes that we can foresee when non deterministic AI systems like LLMs gain mainstream adoption? And especially, what are the indirect effects that we need to start preparing for? In this talk I will explore 3 predictions and their impact on the world of API documentation:
The primacy of quality content, as an essential source of verified truth
The disruption of the trusted context of applications, and what that means for API consumption
The need for constrained interfaces, and the role of APIs as an interface utility
