The Future is Non-Deterministic

In this 27-minute conference talk presented at All Things Open AI 2025, Michael Donovan from Docker explores how programming is evolving beyond its traditionally deterministic nature. Discover how GenAI is revolutionizing computing through Agentic Workflows and "tool calling" interfaces in LLMs, creating non-deterministic solutions that fundamentally change problem-solving approaches. Learn how these non-deterministic paradigms can transform everything from developer tools to automated tests and microservices architecture. Gain insights into this paradigm shift that goes beyond the hype of chat interfaces and image generation to reveal the true next frontier of computing.
