AI could be the answer to a software developer shortage - TechHQ

According to a Deloitte report entitled AI is helping to make better software, the rising demand for custom software is being met with a rise in the use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools during the design, development, and deployment stages. While we are not talking about AI writing lines of codes independently -- though this will inevitably become a reality in the future -- AI is taking on a more prominent role in assisting developer teams to produce cutting-edge software, particularly when faced with a shortage of talented software developers. The Consortium for IT Software Quality (CISQ) reported an estimated loss of US$319 billion in US organizations due to poor software quality in 2018. Moreover, many more are late or over budget, which eventually leads to cancelation and abandonment of projects, adding on to monetary and productivity loss. AI could help turn things around according to Deloitte, with automated development tools able to close the gap between a hike in demand for personalized software and a lack of talent to deliver the programs.
