According to a new report from Gartner, generative AI will spawn new roles in software engineering and operations by 2027, requiring 80% of the workforce to upgrade their skills. The report states that AI will change the future roles of software engineers, not replace them. Philip Walsh, senior principal analyst at Gartner, said AI will require software engineers to have a unique skill set in software engineering, data science and AI/machine learning. The report predicts that in the short term, AI tools will moderately boost existing developers' work patterns and tasks by augmenting...

Market research firm Gartner recently released a report that the proportion of enterprise software engineers using AI code assistants was less than 10% at the beginning of 2023, but it is estimated that it will reach 75% by 2028. Gartner surveyed 598 well-known companies around the world in the third quarter of 2023, and the results showed that 63% of companies are currently trying, deploying or have already deployed AI code assistants. In addition to generating and completing code according to programmers' requirements, AI code assistants also play the role of collaborative assistants, by stimulating brainstorming...

A startup company, Cognition, recently launched an artificial intelligence assistant called Devin, which is designed to assist software engineering teams with coding and other development tasks. Unlike existing AI coding assistants, Devin can be programmed to execute end-to-end software projects, including deploying applications, fixing bugs, learning new technologies, etc., while humans play a supervisory and guiding role. Devin can execute multi-step workflows based on user needs while keeping work on track. Engineers can observe its progress in real time and jump out of instructions to correct errors when they are found. This allows teams to outsource part of the work to AI assistants,…
