What Role for Programmers in the Age of AI

Explore the evolving role of programmers in the age of AI through this insightful ACM SIGSOFT webinar. Delve into the misconceptions surrounding AI's impact on programming jobs and discover the synergistic relationship between data miners and optimizers known as "DUO." Learn how this partnership enhances predictive modeling, improves efficiency, and creates new opportunities for human programmers skilled in AI methods. Gain valuable insights from Professor Tim Menzies, an IEEE Fellow and expert in software engineering and AI, as he discusses the importance of human involvement in understanding, applying, and maintaining AI methods within organizations. Examine the four flavors of DUO, the advantages of combining optimizers and data miners, and real-world applications in avionics requirements modeling. Understand why programmers with AI knowledge will remain essential in the rapidly evolving field of software engineering for decades to come.
