What Is AI Software Development?
AI is changing software development by automating repetitive work and accelerating parts of the build cycle. From code suggestions to test generation and documentation, AI can act as a development assistant — while developers remain responsible for architecture, security, quality, and the product decisions AI can't make on its own.
It refers to using AI tools to support engineering activities — code generation and explanation, bug detection, test-case generation, documentation, and workflow assistance.
