Keynote: AI Will Not Take Your Job. It Will Make You 200x Better.

Ted Elliott

Ted Elliott addresses the evolving role of developers in the age of artificial intelligence, asserting that AI functions as a tool for transformation rather than job replacement. He highlights real-world efficiency gains, citing a team that achieved a 200x increase in productivity and significant cost reductions using Agentia. Elliott details Copado’s "Humans in Control" philosophy, explaining how developers must shift from writing every line of code to acting as orchestrators and strategic decision-makers who define intent and review automated outcomes. The session emphasizes that while agents perform heavy lifting, human oversight remains essential for maintaining organizational context.
