Leading with quality is guiding teams to build resilient, reliable, and ethically sound systems

A graphic with a large quote by Alessandra Moreira about quality leadership in the age of AI. The quote states, "Quality leadership is evolving alongside rapid advancements in AI-driven development. As engineers rely more on AI to generate code, the role of testing leaders becomes even more critical. Striving for high-quality software isn't just about catching bugsโ€”it's about guiding teams to build resilient, reliable, and ethically sound systems." Below the quote, there is a small cartoon brain wearing glasses. The background is a purple and pink gradient with small white plus signs and circles. The top right corner has a stylized "MoT" logo.

Alessandra makes a powerful point. And it makes me wonder what bugs the quality engineers of the next five years will be faced with. We've already seen folks pulling apart fundamental flaws in AI-generated apps. Yet I wonder as those "tools to build apps" improve, how quality engineers will stay sharp to continue to identify vulnerabilities and risks?

Time-saving tools to rapidly create apps make sense. Of course it does. Yet might this rapidity degrade quality? Might it create a dangerous wave of complacency. How do we tackle that?

As Alessandra shares, it's up to leaders to move things forward and guide us.

I feel there are many more debates to be had, more AI-risk-focused testing models to be created and way more real-life experiences to be shared.
