Software development in the AI transformation
Experts discussed how AI is changing software development at a workshop in Austria, highlighting the need for new skills to control AI generation and evaluate results. The event emphasized that software engineering remains crucial, with a shift in focus towards critically classifying AI systems and ensuring quality.
Around 50 experts gathered at the 'Software Engineering Live' workshop in Kitzbühel, Austria, to discuss the impact of AI on software development. The event highlighted that while AI is rapidly advancing, software development cannot be fully automated, and human tasks such as architecture decisions, requirements, and quality assurance remain central. Professor Ruth Breu emphasized that new skills are needed to control AI generation and evaluate results. The workshop showed that good software development involves more than just generating code, requiring good architecture, reliable requirements, and accurate test cases. Tyrolean software company CASABLANCA hotelsoftware reported that autonomous AI agents are already taking over routine tasks, shifting the focus of developers towards orchestrating and evaluating AI systems. The event demonstrated the need for combining research, application knowledge, and responsible AI use to remain competitive.
