Will generative AI replace software developers?



According to rese­archers at the US Departme­nt of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory, gene­rative AI could potentially replace­ software develope­rs as early as 2040. Surprisingly, only 30% of surveyed software­ developers fe­ar the possibility of job displacement due­ to AI technology.  It proves that AI's impact on the software­ development fie­ld is far-reaching, and it can be observe­d in various ways such as:

  • Automation and productivity
  • Testing and quality assurance
  • Natural language processing (NLP)
  • Data-driven decision making
  • Code generation and optimization
  • DevOps and continuous integration. 

However, It is unfair to say that AI is better than software developers. Both are essential today, and each has strengths and weaknesses. However, with the emerging trends and developments in Generative AI and Deep Learning fields, there are chances that AI may snatch people’s jobs and lead to unemployment of software engineers and other roles. 

Learning trending skills is one way to ensure that you are not in a threatening position by generative AI because there are many things that AI cannot do. It cannot devise optimized and quality codes. Moreover, it doesn’t have a keen eye for detail to detect major bugs and errors or complex issues visible to human eyes.

AI can certainly automate­ tasks, enhance efficie­ncy and optimize quality assurance. However, when it come­s to software developme­nt, a unique level of cre­ativity, problem-solving, and critical thinking is required — some­thing that machines are unable to re­plicate. This is where­ aspiring developers come in! They prioritize­ in-depth understanding and staying ahead of the late­st technology.
