Symfony and AI: the video is now available
What about Symfony and Artificial Intelligence (AI)? This was the theme of the exclusive event organized by SensioLabs in partnership with Codéin on October 3rd. With the added bonus of feedback from a development project combining Symfony and AI. If you missed the event, check out the video now available for free on our Youtube channel.
Artificial intelligence is all over the news. Last month, France hosted the AI Action Summit, where leaders from around the world met to discuss the challenges of the technology.
SensioLabs didn't wait long to ask about how to apply artificial intelligence in Symfony development projects. Did you know that it is possible to integrate AI into Symfony?
Talking Symfony and AI
On October 3rd, Symfony and AI converged on the rooftops of Paris for an exclusive event at Morning Laffitte, near the Opéra Garnier.
We had some fascinating conversations about these two technologies and their challenges, with Nicolas Grekas, Principal Core Team Member for Symfony, the team from our partner Codéin, and OPPBTP, the professional prevention organization for the building and public works sector. OPPBTP has used artificial intelligence in a Symfony-based development project.
We covered a few topics during the evening:
The latest features in Symfony 7.2 to optimize developer experience.
Tips for optimizing AI integration in your Symfony projects.
Using AI to extract data from a Symfony application with a Python script and ChatGPT.
Using AI in a Symfony application raises some key questions about data, its confidentiality, and how it will be managed by the framework. On top of that, there is also the question of interoperability of AI models, as several competing models are under development right now.
It was also a chance to learn that Symfony and AI can be used to develop very specific projects for enterprise applications. Like here for OPPBTP with info on chemical products to improve accident prevention in the building and construction sector.
Watch the full video of the event
A lot of you asked on social media if the event was filmed. We're happy to share the video with you on our YouTube channel. If you missed the event, you can now watch it again in its entirety in a high-quality, subtitled video in French.
Here is the URL to go to the video, or you can just click on the image below: https://youtu.be/b-shilFNkI8. You can add automatic English subtitles directly on Youtube.
The video is about an hour long and includes speeches by Nicolas Grekas, Damien Piquet (the head of OPPBTP's Digital Factory), Nicolas Fernandez (PHP/Symfony Lead Developer), and Romain Bonnal (Associate Director of Codéin).
We hope the video answers some of the questions you may have about Symfony and AI.
If you are thinking about using artificial intelligence with your Symfony or PHP application, our team would love to hear about it. As the creator of Symfony, we are closely watching community projects related to this technology. We would be happy to share our knowledge.
