AI Circle Paris: Kill the PR? How AI is Rewriting the SDLC

​AI made code cheap—but what happens to everything around it?

​Three technical leaders across enterprise (Datadog) and AI-native startups (Dust, Alpic) debate what actually breaks in the SDLC.

​What gets replaced, what becomes the bottleneck, and what we’re underestimating.

​Agenda:

• ​Panel with Olivier Bonnet (VP Eng @ Datadog), Stanislas Polu Co-founder & CTO @ Dust), and Frédéric Barthelet (Co-founder & CTO @ Alpic)

• ​Open Q&A

• ​Networking

​Who Should Attend:

• ​ML engineers and applied researchers

• ​Engineers building agentic systems or LLM-powered products

• ​Technical builders curious about practical RL beyond academic examples

​No deep technical background required, we’ll keep things grounded in real use cases, trade-offs, and lessons learned.
