We all know that AI is transforming the way software is developed. But how many of us are clear on exactly what kinds of business benefits it can deliver? We wanted to develop a better understanding of this, to ensure we maximise the productivity and quality gains AI is able to deliver, and also to be able to pass on our learnings onto our clients.
One of my first experiences with AI was revealing, even though it wasn’t in a professional context. My child was unwell with a cough and I’d heard that putting a chopped onion in the room can help to alleviate the symptoms, but wasn’t sure if it was just myth. So I asked ChatGPT this question: “Does placing a chopped onion in a room help with a cough?” However, the response was unsatisfactory. It was just some well put-together words that didn’t prove anything.
First, I should start with a confession: we recently managed to annoy a dozen of our software engineers. That’s because we ran a hackathon to test the gains that could be made through the use of AI. To benchmark the results, we needed some of our developers to work in a control group, using traditional methods, while the rest used AI tools – which left the ones who didn’t get to use the AI feeling very disappointed.
