For AI, there may be more “sizzle than steak”. I found this a good read:
Will A.I. Be a Bust? A Wall Street Skeptic Rings the Alarm. - The New York Times (nytimes.com) <https://www.nytimes.com/2024/09/23/technology/ai-jim-covello-goldman-sachs.html> Ralph From: Douglas Powell <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > Sent: October 4, 2024 9:44 AM To: [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> Subject: [PSES] Friday question: AI-assisted software development for Safety Function? All, Some predict that by 2028, 75% of enterprise software engineers will use AI-coding assistants, up from less than 10% in early 2023. By 2025, estimates are that 80% of the software development life cycle will involve generative AI code generation, potentially enhancing developer productivity by up to 75% in some cases. As of 2024, 46% of developers are already using ChatGPT, while 30% rely on GitHub Copilot for some coding assistance. This shows that AI tools are already becoming commonplace in software development workflows. I also learned that AI-powered tools treat computer languages as natural languages, enabling faster and smoother coding with reduced friction. And this rapid trend is expected to accelerate in the coming years. What I don't know is how this may include software development for embedded controllers and if anyone anywhere has yet succeeded in writing software that is UL 1998 compliant while using AI assistance. https://www.ey.com/en_in/services/technology/ai-augmented-software-development-a-new-era-of-efficiency-and-innovation As developers of programmable devices keep adding safety features to controllers, I really believe that if someone succeeds in a UL 1998-approved controller, it could very well rewrite how we do things in the future.
