What’s Real, What’s Hype, and What It Means for Your Career
A live session with Robert Swanson, CNX Co-Founder, on how AI is already changing IBM i development, what it means for developers and IT leaders, and why the biggest risk isn’t the technology itself.
The Session
AI dominated the conversation at last month’s Crystal Ball panel, and for good reason. Will it replace RPG developers? Is it a threat, or the biggest productivity shift IBM i has seen in decades?
Join Robert Swanson as he separates reality from hype. Drawing on how his team at CNX uses AI every day, Rob will demonstrate practical use cases like understanding legacy RPG code, troubleshooting faster, accelerating development, and preserving critical business knowledge.
He’ll also explore where AI delivers value today, where it still falls short, what IBM’s Project Bob means for the platform, and how AI can help organizations address the growing IBM i skills gap.
Whether you’re a developer, manager, or IT leader, you’ll leave with a clearer understanding of how AI is reshaping IBM i—and how to stay ahead of it.
