Deep dives
The Role of Gen AI in Software Development Lifecycle
Gen AI, or generative artificial intelligence, is gaining rapid adoption in the software development lifecycle. While it offers incredible benefits like faster experimentation and increased productivity, it also poses risks in terms of legal, security, and compliance issues. Companies need to focus on measuring compliance against multiple standards and encouraging blended usage of Gen AI rather than relying solely on pure AI-generated code. Code reviews and the involvement of developers in governing Gen AI usage are crucial to ensure quality and understanding. It is essential to monitor deployment costs and utilize software vendors for scaling and cost management.
