As generative AI advances, technology leaders must address whether it could displace skilled engineers. Contrary to fears, history indicates that as routine tasks are automated, demand for human expertise to handle complex design and judgment increases. A Deloitte report shows that a significant percentage of AI-generated code has design flaws, emphasizing the necessity of human oversight to ensure quality and security.
The 70% problem highlights AI’s limitations in software development, as it excels at repetitive tasks but struggles with critical aspects requiring human insight, such as security architecture and business logic validation. Successful organizations embracing AI will recognize the enduring value human engineers bring, particularly in maintaining architectural integrity while leveraging the capabilities of AI, rather than viewing AI as a replacement. This evolution calls for enhanced governance and a commitment to engineering excellence, ensuring that the right balance of human and AI collaboration is achieved for effective outcomes.
