About this episode

This week on Code x Connor, Connor Deeks and Dorian Smiley are joined by Codestrap founding partner and principal engineer Przemyslaw Nowak to discuss one of the biggest challenges in enterprise; AI reliability. As companies use AI to build software faster and automate more work, can they trust the job to be done correctly? From exploring how AI makes mistakes, and how those mistakes can add up across complex tasks, to why human checks are still important in getting the correct information. Additionally, Prezemyslaw shows and explains how Codestrap uses automated testing to catch and fix software issues, and the team discusses how security flaws in older systems can put businesses at risk.
