The opportunity
AI-enabled engineering tools can help with requirements interpretation, implementation, test generation and documentation. Their contribution depends on the task and the quality of review.
The responsibility
Enterprise software must still be designed around real business rules, security boundaries and operational requirements. Faster code generation does not remove engineering risk.
A governed workflow
Use clear acceptance criteria, human review, appropriate testing and deployment checks. Track actual defects, rework and delivery effort rather than relying on headline speed claims.
A measured approach
The useful question is not simply how much code AI produces, but whether the resulting software is dependable, maintainable and fit for purpose.
