Human Testers in the Age of AI

Thanks to the general availability and widespread use of large language models such as ChatGPT, Gemini & Co., we have become aware of the disruptive importance of AI for our discipline. It is obvious that when testing AI systems, we must deal with new technologies, test techniques and therefore new requirements and skillsets for testers. Above all, AI-based systems will have a massive impact on the work of testers; large language models and other AI systems can already partially take over the work of testers.

What does this mean for the role of testing in the next few years? What changes will we have to adapt to and what will the role of testing look like in ten years? Will software testing, as we know it today, still play a role in the future? And if so, do we still need humans for this? In my keynote, I would like to shed light on the current status of testing with AI, show possible future scenarios and try to find plausible answers to these questions.
