                                           Abstract

Software 2.0 – the augmentation and replacement of traditional code with ML models, especially
deep neural networks – is changing how we develop, deploy, and maintain software. In this talk,
I will describe this transition and its associated challenges for the database community. I will
conclude with a set of open research challenges.
