APIs and OpenAPI in the Age of AI

APIs in general and their main description format OpenAPI have seen a lot of success since OpenAPI was created as Swagger in 2010 and became OpenAPI in 2016. What is the reason for its continued momentum and how does the landscape change with AI entering the picture? We look at APIs, OpenAPI and the way how AI plays a role in the API space. How can OpenAPI help you, how can the OpenAPI Initiative (OAI) help you using OpenAPI better, and how does AI influence the way how you design, develop, and deploy your APIs?
