AI won't replace testers, AI would help us image
I liked this model. It was good to see "Human in the loop" at the centre. Good on the PWC folks for sharing it. "Regulated" and "Enterprise" by themselves can create much complexity and risk. And putting them together no doubt can increase the complexity and risk volume even more. So learning how PWC are leading with AI was fascinating.
The Reflection image
Ha, that's brilliant. I didn't spot that from where I was standing. And at the end of the day we asked folks to reflect on their day, by creating at least one Moment. A time to reflect was there in front of us the whole time! ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

That looks so cool. Gutted to have missed it. Yet it sounds like a super helpful session for yourself and the audience! Your reflections remind me of Rosie's Insight: "Start with and" https://www.ministryoftesting.com/insights/start-with-and To: "I'm demoing pixelmesh to learn about the model." And: "I'm demoing pixelmesh and learning about the model."
