Key Takeaways
AI Will Improve, Accelerate, And Disrupt The
Software Development Life Cycle
A combination of AI technologies like advanced
machine learning, deep learning, natural language
processing, and business rules will have an impact
on all steps of the software development life cycle,
helping developers build better software faster. AI
will disrupt how developers build applications and
the nature of the applications they build.
AI Will Enable Developers To Build Apps That
Learn Like Humans
Machine learning and deep learning are the core
AI technologies that developers should get familiar
with to build applications that learn on their own.
Devs will focus less on using coded rules to
program applications to be smart and instead
program algorithms or configure them to self-learn.
Devs will integrate algorithms, compose, and
source large data sets to train and test such apps.
Be Prepared For The Challenges And Risks
New AI-based systems will sit side by side with
traditional programmed software for a long time
to come. Integrating new with old — or even
new with new — won’t get any easier. Unrealistic
expectations of AI techniques will strengthen the
skeptics. Plan for integration skills, look for the
right types of problems to solve, and set pragmatic
expectations to avoid unattainable science fiction.
