According to Odaily Planet Daily, Gartner predicts that the rapid development of generative artificial intelligence will greatly change the landscape of software engineering. In the next three years, 80% of engineers worldwide will need to "upgrade their skills" to remain relevant.

A recent report from the company states that most developers have now discovered that generative AI tools are revolutionizing software development, with a modest increase in productivity in the short term followed by a full transition to AI-native engineering practices.

Gartner insists that human expertise and creativity remain indispensable and in demand. Senior analyst Philip Walsh said that although artificial intelligence will change the role of software engineers in the future, human expertise and creativity will always be essential to delivering complex, innovative software. Building artificial intelligence software will require a new type of software professional - the artificial intelligence engineer.
