AI is transforming hardware and software development, but it does not replace the need for people who understand technology and the real worldโit increases that need. Just as calculators made math faster but still required human judgment, AI can generate answers that sound convincing while still being wrong.
In this talk, we explore how AI can be used responsibly in open hardware, open source, and maker communities. Can AI help accelerate hardware design, troubleshooting, documentation, and innovation? Can hackerspaces and open communities use AI to empower more people instead of centralizing control in large corporations?
Weโll discuss the risks, opportunities, and future of AI-assisted engineering, open hardware design, and human expertise. As AI evolves rapidly, asking the right questions now is essential to building a better future.
