AI-assisted software development

Artificial intelligence is making the process of designing, developing, and deploying software faster, better, and cheaper. It's not that programmers are being replaced by robots--rather, AI-powered tools are making project managers, business analysts, software coders, and testers more productive and more effective, enabling them to produce higher-quality software faster at lower cost. AI may become a key factor in meeting rising demand for custom software. Developing and deploying custom software is a critical element of how many companies innovate,5 with top-performing organizations developing many of their most important software solutions in-house.6 And the market for custom software development services is large: around US$47 billion in 2018 and climbing.7
