IBM: APIs getting AI boost
Briefly

Rashmi Kaushik, director of product management for the integration portfolio at IBM, noted, "AI is augmenting skills that API teams may just be starting to learn. It's able to help them complete their API projects faster." This highlights how AI is improving the efficiency of API development, allowing teams to leverage new technologies to enhance productivity and streamline processes.
Kaushik emphasized that AI empowering APIs is truly beneficial for API teams, stating, "AI assistance not only accelerates project timelines but also ensures teams can focus on innovation rather than mundane tasks, driving forward the capabilities of what APIs can achieve in integration and application development." This reinforces the symbiotic relationship between AI and API functionality.
Kaushik pointed out that while IBM has implemented API testing capabilities using traditional AI, she reminded the audience that "AI is not magic. It has been a technology in the making for many years now and it is here to transform the way business is done," which speaks to the grounded evolution of AI technology and its real-world applications.
Discussing the ethical considerations of AI, Kaushik stated, "Regardless of how much AI is leveraged, users want to make sure that it is safe, responsible, and ethical," which underscores the critical importance of establishing trust and integrity in AI applications within business practices.
