US $ 117 billion in 2030, companies must prioritise AI literacy and upskilling to remain competitive.
A recent GitLab study found a significant perception gap between leadership and individual contributors regarding AI training: 25 % of individual contributors said their organisations do not provide adequate training and resources for using AI. In comparison, only 15 % of C-level executives felt the same, highlighting a disconnect between how executives and their teams perceive investments in AI training.
This discrepancy underscores the importance of clear communication and alignment between leadership and engineering teams. Leaders must ensure that their vision for AI integration is effectively communicated and that the necessary resources and support are readily available to their teams.
The AI revolution in software development presents both challenges and opportunities. Organisations can navigate this transition successfully and maximise their gains by creating new roles, fostering continuous learning, and providing strong leadership.

As we move forward, the organisations in APAC that embrace this change and prepare their teams effectively will be best positioned to thrive in the AI-driven future of software development. p
