To truly innovate AI, Britain must first innovate AI’s foundations
Hiren Shah, Delivery Director at Scrumconnect, makes the case for a bold AI infrastructure built on smarter compute, not just bigger models and tech.
As the CEO of Scrumconnect, an award-winning tech consultancy, I often come across speculative narratives about the impact of AI on the software development industry. It's time we clarified AI's role and embraced the promising future it offers.
AI - and tools such as ChatGPT in particular - is not here to render developers obsolete. Instead, the tools are designed to augment human creativity and problem solving. Reflecting on the advent of advanced programming languages and integrated development environments, I recall how these advancements didn't devalue my work as a developer. Instead, they increased efficiency, diversified the developer community and significantly boosted the demand for technological expertise. AI tools such as ChatGPT are poised to repeat this cycle, fueling our efficiency and expanding our reach.

Moreover, AI tools are becoming increasingly intuitive, unlocking a new era of human creativity. They're so user friendly that even those with limited computer skills can leverage them for high-quality outputs. Imagine a world where creativity is no longer constrained by technical skills, and the only limitation is human imagination.

ChatGPT can generate code, but it might not always offer the optimal solution. It's an assistant rather than an equal partner, providing a starting point for further refinement. It allows us to focus on the core domain and its complexity, thus empowering us to tackle bigger challenges.
Contrary to the myth, the rise in efficiency does not equate to a reduction in the number of engineers. The world's appetite for automation and software is relentless. The real constraints have always been budget, time and the availability of talent. AI tools will help alleviate these constraints by enhancing efficiency and creating room for more ideas and opportunities.

AI technologies such as ChatGPT signify a promising catalyst for a transformative era in software engineering. As we venture into this exciting future, we must view AI as a tool for augmentation, igniting an era of unprecedented problem solving and innovation. The coming years are set to be transformative, with the only limit being human imagination.
