Perspectives on Generative AI in Software Engineering and Acquisition.

<p dir="ltr">In the realm of software engineering and software acquisition, generative AI promises to improve developer productivity and rate of production of related artifacts, and in some cases their quality. It is essential, however, that software and acquisition professionals learn how to apply AI-augmented methods and tools in their workflows effectively. SEI researchers addressed this topic in a webcast that focused on the future of software engineering and acquisition using generative AI technologies, such as ChatGPT, DALL·E, and Copilot. This blog post excerpts and lightly edits portions of that webcast to explore the expert perspectives of applying generative AI in software engineering and acquisition. It is the latest in a series of blog posts on these topics.</p>
