Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) is revolutionizing the field of software engineering, offering both significant opportunities and challenges. This session will delve into the impacts of GenAI on software development, maintenance, and
optimization. We will explore how tools like GitHub Copilot are transforming coding practices, discuss the implications for software quality and reliability, and address the ethical considerations of AI in software engineering. The session will emphasize responsible AI adoption, supported by insights from Danish research and industry, aiming to inspire further research and innovation in AI-driven software engineering.
