How to Become the Best AI Expert in the Vibe Coding Era — Dongin Jang | AI Summit Seoul 2026

How to Become the Best AI Expert in the Vibe Coding Era

Session Overview

As vibe coding becomes more widely adopted, the line between developers and non-developers is rapidly disappearing. The real differentiator is no longer simply knowing how to use AI tools, but being able to define the right problems, collaborate effectively with AI, and turn ideas into meaningful outcomes.

This session explores the capabilities that AI professionals need to build lasting expertise in the vibe coding era. It will look at the balance between technical understanding, business judgment, problem-solving skills, and collaboration across teams — all of which are becoming increasingly important for creating real value with AI.

The session will also introduce practical learning strategies for moving beyond one-off productivity gains and embedding AI into everyday workflows. Participants will gain a clearer framework for continuously improving their skills and translating AI adoption into measurable personal and organizational impact.
