The impact of AI in the software development industry can already be felt. Technological progress makes it difficult to predict the evolution of the professions involved in this field, even in the short term: roles such as the prompt engineer, which were considered promising, are already in decline because of AI’s ability to generate prompts automatically from natural language cues.

Artificial intelligence can effectively be used for real-time code completion, such as for website development. However, code suggestions may be erroneous and must be carefully checked by software developers before being accepted, with the impact on overall efficiency yet to be seen.
