A survey of 555 software executives published this week finds that 75% have seen up to a 50% reduction in development time by implementing AI technologies. This significant finding highlights that the integration of artificial intelligence not only streamlines development processes but also enhances productivity across teams, resulting in more efficient software production and accelerated project timelines.
Rodrigo Coutinho, AI Project Manager at OutSystems, emphasizes that while many organizations are currently using generative AI for code writing and testing, it may take time for its integration across the entire software development lifecycle. This indicates the gradual adaptation of AI tools while acknowledging existing challenges in workflow integration and AI expertise within development teams.
Despite facing challenges such as data privacy concerns and a lack of AI expertise, 93% of the surveyed executives plan to increase their investment in AI-augmented tools in the next two years. This strong commitment suggests a forward-looking approach toward enhancing technological capabilities and addressing current limitations in their operations.
Nearly half of the survey respondents expect a new type of application developer to emerge with specialized AI skills, signaling a shift in the industry. As AI continues to evolve, roles within development teams will likely expand, suggesting a future where citizen developers with AI expertise contribute significantly to application development processes.
