Generative AI is changing the way developers work, but coding remains essential.
We’re seeing a lot of developers using generative AI tools to accelerate their workflow,” said Monroy. The rise of generative AI tools like ChatGPT and Bard has led to a surge in developer interest in these technologies. These tools can generate code, write documentation, and even debug code, making them incredibly useful for developers. However, Monroy emphasizes that coding itself is not going away.
This will lead to a more streamlined and efficient workflow, allowing developers to focus on the core functionality of the application.” The future of software development is poised for a significant shift, characterized by a decline in the need for specialized skills and practices. This paradigm shift will result in a more streamlined and efficient workflow, allowing developers to concentrate on the core functionality of the applications they build. One of the key drivers of this change is the emergence of powerful, general-purpose AI tools.
Google’s commitment to AI development is evident in its active recruitment efforts in India. Recognizing the immense talent pool in the country, Google Cloud has taken significant steps to attract and empower AI developers. This commitment is reflected in the introduction of new tools and access to Google’s latest AI models, specifically designed to enhance the capabilities of these developers. One of the most notable initiatives is the partnership with Wipro, a leading IT services giant. Google Cloud has integrated its Gemini Code Assist tool into Wipro’s development workflows. This integration aims to streamline and optimize the development process for Wipro’s associates.
Accenture has also integrated Gemini Code Assist to its flagship AI-based automation platform GenWizard to improve the speed and quality of software projects while Capgemini has been using Code Assist to boost software engineering productivity, improve code quality, security, and enhance developer experience. Monroy mentioned: “The Indian system integrator community is one of the largest pools of developers. So, if we can make Gemini Code Assist work for that class of customers and accelerate their productivity, it will benefit people worldwide.” He emphasised that a big focus area while rolling out Gemini Code Assist among enterprises and global system integrators (GSIs) is ensuring that it addresses compliance, legal, and risk mitigation concerns. “We need to ensure that there are robust business cases, and validation, along with close arm-in-arm work with partners, so that we can slowly and thoughtfully sequence the rollout to thousands or even hundreds of thousands of developers in an organization.”
Airtel, a prominent player in the telecommunications industry, has forged a strategic alliance with Google Cloud to bolster its cloud adoption and deploy Generative AI solutions. This collaboration is poised to revolutionize Airtel’s operations and enhance customer experiences. The partnership between Airtel and Google Cloud is a testament to the growing significance of cloud computing in the modern business landscape.
