Artificial Intelligence

The junior developer crisis is not just about jobs lost or opportunities diminished. It’s about the future of software development itself. Without a robust pipeline of entry-level talent, the industry risks becoming polarized: a handful of highly skilled, highly compensated professionals on one end and a vast pool of low-skill, low-wage workers on the other, with little opportunity for upward mobility.

In today’s fast paced IT world, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is not just a buzzword, but it’s a driving force in an evolving industry. From automating tasks to providing insights, AI is reshaping how organizations can do business.

Like so many of you, our team has been working to understand how we can leverage artificial intelligence. While the innovations are exciting, we promise to continue to consider all of our stakeholders (clients, employees, communities) in our policies and processes. Come along on the journey with us!

You need an Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) policy. Now. Sure, we're all excited to play with these cool AI tools - they have enormous potential to boost creativity and productivity across every knowledge worker. But we can't ignore the need for clear guidelines.

In my recent experiments, I delved into the intersection of AI and user experience research and design. To provide context, I created a fictitious B-Corp t-shirt company and leveraged AI tools such as Chat GPT, Midjourney, and Uizard.

In the last article, David explored how artificial intelligence can streamline activities related to discovery and user research preparation. He established the foundation of a fictitious company, using AI to create starting points for a business plan. This article explores the outcomes of his experiments.
