Why Prompt Engineering Isn't Enough for Enterprise AI with Oleg Dulin | Delegate Dialogues
8m 35s
We still need a Turing machine to handle algorithmic processes, but we can use AI to make the user experience so much better. In this Delegate Dialogue from AI Field Day 8 (#AIFD8), Tech Field Day host Stephen Foskett catches up with seasoned software architect Oleg Dulin to discuss the realities and complexities of building AI-native enterprise applications. Oleg explains why treating an LLM like a traditional programming language—trying to force complex conditional branching and loops into prompts—is a mistake. Using Alan Turing’s concept of the "Oracle Machine," Oleg details why AI should serve as a powerful user interface and data-processing component, while traditional code remains essential for governed orchestration and regulatory compliance. They also dive into Oleg's newsletter, Beyond Execution, discussing how AI is elevating the abstraction layer of software development and what that means for the future of software engineers.
