Transcript

1. Can AI replace the API Architect ? An Exploration of AI's Potential in API Architecture Saheed LASISI Executive Director - Principal API Architect JPMorgan Payments APIDays London September 2023
2. 1. Introduction 2. AI and API Architecture 3. Limitations of AI 4. Case Study - Crafting an API Product 5. Future Predictions and Trends 6. Can AI replace the Architect ? Agenda
3. • API’s and AIs are at the forefront of business and technological transformation. • AI was first coined in 1956 • So, what’s new all of a sudden ?
4. Generative AI * Accenture Technology Vision 2023 Report - Nov. 2022 - New AI chatbot that provides human like responses
5. Generative AI • Just like a Digital Artist • Recognizes Patterns • Paints new Scenes after seeing many landscapes • Creates entirely new content based on recognized patterns and experience
6. Who is an API Architect ? API Design API Reviews End to End Solution Architecture API Data Modelling Security Design API Lifecycle Architecture Stakeholder Management Requirements Elicitation API Strategy Craftmanship API Governance API Platform Architecture Technical Architecture API Tooling Strategy Patterns and Blueprints API Advocacy Identifying Trends Proof of Concepts OSS Contributions Risk Assessments
7. Role of AI in API Architecture • AI is empowering everyone in the API ecosystem • It is augmenting human creativity Expert Intermediate Entry Level
8. Requirements API Templating API Design Architecture Design Validation and linting Patterns AI is empowering API Architecture
9. Documentation Code Generation Legacy Systems Testing Data Modelling Security AI is empowering API Architecture
10. Autonomous Integrations Autonomous Orchestrations Blueprints Debugging OSS Contributions Autonomous software remediation AI is empowering API Architecture
11. API Lifecycle Augmented Development Onboarding API Operation Observability API Abuse AI is empowering API Architecture
12. - Advanced Communication Protocols - Hyper-Intelligent Autonomous Systems - Autonomous Assistants - No code solutions Opportunities
13. • Complex problem-solving rooted in experience. • Creativity and innovation in solution design. • Ethical considerations in API architecture. • Lack of Intuition: While AI can process data, it lacks the human intuition that often plays a crucial role in creative problem solving. • Data Dependence: AI's decisions are only as good as the data it's trained on. Poor quality or biased data can lead to flawed outcomes. Limitations of AI
14. Case Study – Screening API - Autonomous Velocity attack Detection - Autonomous interactions - Intelligent routing - API Abuse Detection
15. What do you think is possible and impossible ? Future Predictions and Trends
16. • AI’s with Human level intelligence and creativity • Autonomous cars will dominate the roads • The rise of AI APIs • Digital clones of experts • AI will reshape Global Super power dynamics • Near perfect robotic automation Future Predictions and Trends
17. • It will amplify the craft of so many architects • It will make smart architects even smarter • It will replace some architects for certain Can AI replace the Architect
18. Q & A
