The role of artificial intelligence in software The development is reaching a pivotal moment – one that will force organizations and DevSecOps leaders to be more proactive in advocating for the effective and responsible use of AI.
At the same time, developers and the broader DevSecOps community must prepare to address four global trends in AI: the increasing use of AI in code testing, persistent threats to IP ownership and privacy, rising AI bias, and—despite all of these challenges—increasing adoption On artificial intelligence technologies. Successfully aligning with these trends will enable organizations and DevSecOps teams to achieve success. Ignoring them could stifle innovation, or worse, derail your business strategy.
From luxury to modular: Organizations will embrace AI across the board
Integrating AI will become standard, rather than a luxury, across all product and service industries, with DevSecOps being leveraged to build AI functionality alongside the software that will benefit from it. Harnessing AI to drive innovation and deliver improved customer value will be critical to remaining competitive in the AI-driven market.
From my conversations with GitLab customers and monitoring industry trends, as organizations push the boundaries of efficiency by adopting AI, more than two-thirds of companies will include AI capabilities within their offerings by the end of 2024. Organizations are evolving from experimenting with AI to becoming AI-centric.
Harnessing AI to drive innovation and deliver improved customer value will be critical to remaining competitive in the AI-driven market.
To prepare, organizations should invest in reviewing software development governance and emphasize continuous learning and adaptation in AI technologies. This requires a cultural and strategic shift. It requires rethinking business processes, product development, and customer engagement strategies. It requires training, which the DevSecOps team says they want and need. In our latest Global DevSecOps Report81% of participants said they would like to receive more training on how to use AI effectively.
As AI becomes more sophisticated and integrated into business processes, companies will need to address the ethical and societal implications of their AI-based solutions, ensuring they contribute positively to their customers and communities.
