Google I/O Extended: Building the Future of Mobile with AI

This month, we will be at Parallax for a Google I/O Extended event. We have two great talks on the topic of Building the Future of Mobile with AI.

First up, Gil Nobrega.

1️⃣ I, Developer: Asimov’s Laws for the AI Coding Era

AI has turned the Software industry upside down. While these "magic tools" promise incredible velocity, they often conflict with the architectural integrity and maintainability required for production-ready software.

Can science fiction help us navigate this new era? This session explores that question by translating Isaac Asimov's famous Laws of Robotics into modern coding practices. Designed for everyone from aspiring developers to seasoned tech leads, this session delivers a practical, three-part framework to help you stop fighting your AI tools and start mastering them.

Gil Nobrega is a Senior Mobile Engineer who has helped scale apps for millions of users both at Tide and previously at EE. As a Flutter contributor and open-source maintainer with roots in theoretical physics, he is passionate about balancing high-velocity engineering with the rigorous architectural integrity required for global products.

Next up, Mark Wilcox.

2️⃣ The Present & Future of AI in Mobile Software

“The future is already here - it’s just not very evenly distributed” - William Gibson

What’s already happening in startups and with early adopters can tell us a lot about where AI is taking our industry. There are also a number of trends in hardware, model capabilities and the economics of AI that can help us predict where we might end up in the future.

Mark is a Principal Engineer at Olio, he started working in the mobile software industry a quarter of a century ago. He’s seen it change more in the last 6 months than the previous 10 years and believes the change is only just getting started.
