Structured data extraction, or data tagging, is one of the easiest and impactful applications of modern AI. Before the wide availability of pre-trained AI models, the process of “understanding” unstructured data either required constructing complex heuristic logic or investing in a machine learning team who could train models in-house. Now, cheap and powerful tagging machines are an API call away, redefining what is possible for how we can understand our data. In this talk, I'll share how we’ve used AI at Yahoo News to improve our content understanding pipelines. Yahoo was a pioneer in...

The Impact of AI on Developer Productivity
Wednesday, June 11, 2025 - 9:35am to 10:20am
Generative AI tools hold promise to increase human productivity. In the world of software development, GitHub Copilot was one of the first practical applications of the use of generative AI to support developer productivity. However, measuring software productivity is non-trivial. For example, developer productivity gains is more than just producing code faster. If these artifacts don’t meet quality standards or themselves bring cost efficiency challenges then there may not be much overall improvement. To truly understand the benefits and challenges of AI-powered copilots requires real-...
