UPSKILLING ENGINEERING TALENT IN APAC FOR THE FUTURE OF AI-DRIVEN SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENTS
Sabrina Farmer, CTO, GitLab, says organisations can navigate AI transition successfully and maximise their gains by creating new roles, fostering continuous learning and providing strong leadership.
Technology leaders globally are looking to maximize AI’ s impact on their software development workflows. As AI adoption grows, it will continue to reshape the development landscape and prompt essential discussions about the future of work in tech.
While there are concerns about AI eliminating jobs, it’ s more likely that AI will create new roles and upskilling opportunities to enhance human talent rather than replace it, ultimately unlocking the next generation of innovation.
Ranked among the top five AI pioneers worldwide, Singapore has outlined its strategy to create over 100,000 jobs in in modern services within the decade, focusing on sectors likely to be influenced by AI advancements. These developments underscore Singapore’ s commitment to integrating AI into its economy.
As we stand on the brink of this transformation, APAC tech leaders must prepare their organisations for the next stage of software development to ensure they use AI to drive innovation. Let’ s explore how organisations can prepare their teams, processes and cultures to maximise the potential of AI in software development.
Evolving skills and job roles
As AI becomes more integrated, we will see a heightened demand for new roles, such as AI engineers and prompt engineers.
The need for continuous learning is not new to the industry, but the pace of change is accelerating dramatically.
