Gartner report states that it believes Generative AI will Require 80% of Engineering Workforce to Upskill Through 2027

An interesting report from Gartner states that it reckons Software engineers in most fields will have to get onboard with Generative AI. Not doing so could leave you behind. Here is the press release. I am not a Gartner client, so I don't have access to the full document.

The Indian Express took the following from the report ( Please excuse the horribleness of this site. it is full of ads)

– AI tools will operate within boundaries in the short term, which means that it will enhance productivity by improving the workflows of existing software engineers.

– Later, AI agents will push the boundaries by fully automating tasks carried out by software engineers. At this point, most code will be AI-generated rather than human-authored.

– In the long term, AI engineering will become more efficient, and organisations will look to hire skilled software engineers to “meet the rapidly increasing demand for AI-empowered software.”

We are in the right place at the right time to maximise these opportunities.
