Generative AI has fundamentally changed the way people work. Not only has it changed the way computer scientists work, but it has also changed how the entire design, development, and business lifecycles work. We will introduce two new paradigms for how app design and programming will be in a future powered by generative AI and AI agents.

Lydia Chilton is an Associate Professor in the Computer Science Department at Columbia University. Her research focuses on human-centered AI -- developing principles for combining the best of human and AI abilities to enhance design, innovation, and problem-solving. Projects include AI code synthesis for interactive app creation, interactive animation authoring, creating media for journalism, helping scientists communicate their work to the public, assisting farmers in adapting to climate change, and simulating human behavior to inform social policy decisions.
