AI is changing the world! It is cliché but it's also true. It is also affecting our beloved DevOps processes. So the question is does AI help us do things better and faster, or are we just using it because it is the new shiny thing? Should we be scared of it or excited about it? And to simplify things, AI is just one of the new technologies that are changing the way we do what we do. New tools, new version of older one on steroids, are they really secure? Is it time to change to platform engineering and forget everything we know about DevOps?

Let's take a look at those new tools and see how we could use them to build a better future one where robots are our friends and not our enemies.
