The "GenAI Is Eating Your Software" Workshop
In 2011, tech entrepreneur and investor Marc Andreessen famously declared that “software is eating the world.” Today, a new reality is unfolding: AI is eating software. Generative AI is fundamentally transforming how software is created, tested, deployed, and monetized, with profound implications for productivity, competition, labor markets, and the economics of technology.
This cutting-edge, hands-on workshop brings together leaders, innovators, and practitioners to experience AI-driven coding in action and discuss what this shift means for companies, industries, and economies. The workshop will also introduce the new book “The Big Swiss AI Secret,” highlighting Switzerland’s role in the global AI ecosystem.
Held alongside the Alpine Tech Forum in Davos, this session is for senior business executives, policymakers, investors, and innovators seeking practical insights into one of the most disruptive technology shifts of our time.
Workshop Experience and Content
Participants will not just "hear" about AI-enabled coding, they will see it demonstrated live:
GenAI Zürich segment featuring the following speakers:
Hugo Venturini, Software Engineer, SkipLabs
Alexander Taboriskiy, CEO & Founder, Mentiora AI
Dr. Petar Tsankov, CEO & Co-Founder, LatticeFlow AI
Eric Anderegg & Denis Samuylov, GenAI Zürich & GenAI London
How experienced developers used AI tools to build a highly capable crypto AML platform with a lean team by Paterhn.ai
Alexander E. Brunner, author of the new book "The Big Swiss AI Secret", will present key findings about the Swiss AI ecosystem.
These showcases illustrate a powerful shift: AI-assisted coding can reduce development timelines from months to literally days and shrink coding teams by 80% or more.
This change will:
Reshape the economics of major technology companies
Turn software development organizations into AI-supercharged R&D engines
Accelerate digital product innovation cycles dramatically
Enable emerging models such as work-as-a-service and development-as-a-service
And we are only at the beginning.
What Participants Will Learn
How AI is already reshaping the software development lifecycle
Why rapid prototyping is becoming faster and cheaper than ever before
The likely financial and operational impacts on any business that runs on software
How labor markets will shift, from engineering and development toward AI-assisted business design and implementation
Strategic insights from Alexander Brunner, author of “The Big Swiss AI Secret,” on how nations and economies can position themselves in an AI-driven world
