AI Fatigue: The Pros, Cons, and How We Prepare for More - Pat Wright

AI can help teams build applications, generate SQL, and find vulnerabilities. It can also delete files, expose secrets, and produce more code than anyone is prepared to maintain. In this PostgresWorld webinar, Pat Wright, PostgreSQL Advocate at Redgate, looks at both sides through real examples from database and software teams. He discusses what AI can already do well, where its reliability breaks down, and why measuring its actual impact remains difficult. Pat also explores the growing skills gap created when people rely on AI without learning how to solve problems themselves. He closes with practical ways to work more safely, including setting clear controls, testing AI-generated work, and continuing to learn from other people in the PostgreSQL community.
