Ich freue mich darauf, über diese Dynamiken unter dem Titel „AI4SE: Potenziale und Herausforderungen“ aktuelle Entwicklungen einzuordnen und kritische Fragen zu diskutieren - wie Verschiebung der SE-Aufwände, das Produktivitätsparadoxon oder Agentic AI4SE.

Verändert KI das Software Engineering grundlegend? Ja – aber anders, als viele vermuten. Wir beobachten derzeit kein Schrumpfen unserer Branche, sondern eine tiefgreifende Spezialisierung. Während generische Coding-Aufgaben zunehmend automatisiert werden, entstehen neue Anforderungen.
