Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Software Development
Introduction: For decades, scientists have been striving to imbue computers with knowledge and behavior akin to human beings using artificial intelligence (AI) techniques and algorithms. Although more sophisticated than traditional programming, the techniques used have mainly focused on manually growing and enhancing the system's knowledge base, which has always been limited. Limited domain knowledge has proven to be a poor substitute for human expertise; in essence, AI systems are only as good as their programming (done manually by humans). The new approach is to build systems that learn on their own, becoming experts that model and abstract rules from the data they are fed. These systems improve in accuracy, adapt to the unknown, and expand their capabilities beyond their original programming. Traditional techniques like natural language processing (NLP), rule-based reasoning,…
