AI for IBM i is everywhere - AI you can trust in production is rare. IBM i teams don’t struggle because they can’t run analyzers or generate diagrams; they struggle because critical logic is scattered across code, data, and workflows - and “best‑guess” answers create validation loops, rework, and surprise blockers. This becomes even more visible as teams start introducing AI-generated code: without shared context and evidence, speed quickly turns into uncertainty. In this session, we’ll share a practical framework for trustworthy AI outcomes on long‑running systems - grounding, completeness, and traceability - and how to apply it without refactoring or disrupting existing workflows. We’ll also show how teams can use system-level understanding to validate and preserve knowledge as new (human- or AI-generated) changes enter production. The session closes with a live walkthrough of real IBM i questions to show what “good answers” look like in practice.
