Why AI is key to hiring and retaining developers

It's high time to treat HR as every bit as important to your company's artificial intelligence strategy as IT. Alongside all the evidence that getting your developers working on AI is good for your business, there's mounting proof that even providing the opportunity to work on--and work with--AI has a positive effect on job satisfaction, recruitment, and retention. Getting this right matters a lot today. In 2022, McKinsey's State of AI Report notes that "[s]oftware engineers emerged as the AI role that survey responses show organizations hired most often in the past year, more often than data engineers and AI data scientists … another clear sign that many organizations have largely shifted from experimenting with AI to actively embedding it in enterprise applications." And the stakes are high.
