A live roundtable on the one thing AI still can’t replicate... you. Sure AI is writing code. It’s generating and running tests. It’s even starting to make decisions... If you take that at face value... it sounds pretty impressive. So where does that leave us as engineers, as testers? Has the day come when we are going to be replaced by AI overlords? What does quality really mean when machines are shaping the outcomes based on data we didn’t choose and values we didn’t define? Are we asking the right questions? Are we still in the loop—or just watching it run? And in our rush to automate everything, have we sidelined the part that matters most: the human who notices the nuance, asks the hard questions, and decides what “good” should look like? Join us for an honest, curious conversation about the role we play and need to keep playing... as testers, technologists, and humans in this new AI dominated world. This roundtable sets the stage for Olivia Gambelin’s CAST 2025 opening keynote: “Elevating the Human in the Equation: Responsible Quality in the Age of AI.” - happening August 25th in SLC, Utah.

Depending on who you ask, testers are either an endangered species in a world of AI-driven pipelines and “everyone owns quality” mindsets—or they’re more vital than ever, championing the user’s voice across complex systems. According to the 2024–2025 World Quality Report (Capgemini & Sogeti), 82% of organizations still consider specialized testing indispensable, but many are shifting the job title or blending responsibilities across DevOps teams. So which side is right? Are testers quietly fading out, or evolving into the ultimate quality coaches, security advocates, and customer champions? Bring your experiences—whether you’ve navigated an identity crisis (“Am I still a tester?”), dabbled in new roles (quality engineer, automation coach), or seen first-hand how testers keep dev teams honest. Let’s discuss how the discipline is transforming, what skills are in demand, and why (or why not) a dedicated testing role still has a place at the table.
