AI can help software developers do their work -and- effective use of Gen AI can improve the developer experience. But any company with developers must understand the risks in AI-assisted code, provenance, and guardrails. Take a deeper dive with Brad Ediger's latest report.
In a new pulse report, 8th Light Head of Technology Brad Ediger explores use cases of AI-based coding tools like GitHub Copilot in software development. Read up on key recommendations to mitigate risks when integrating AI coding tools. #AICoding #SoftwareDevelopment https://hubs.la/Q02FJNwv0

If there's anything that the 2024 MAD (ML/AI & Data) Landscape by Matt Turck and FirstMark (link in comments) tells us, it's that vendor selection and workforce training is getting even more complicated with all the new entrants to AI-assisted coding and adjacent technologies. The speed at which companies are releasing new tools (and being acquired or shutting down) underscores the need for product engineering to shore up on fundamentals to minimize "tool thrash." 8th Light released a new pulse report via our very own Brad Ediger which provides pragmatic guidance for engineering teams evaluating leveraging AI-assisted coding tools on their teams.
