Podcast: Generative AI in Software Development – Case Study of Github Copilot at Siemens, 3rd March 2025

5. März 2025 · by Ulli Waltinger · in About, Allgemein, MeetUp, Project

🤖 Let`s talk about the scaling #GenAI for software engineering – one line of code at a time. While GenAI-powered #Copilots experiences are an arising phenomenon across all products and services, one of the first #scaling applications scenarios has been the field of #software development 🚀:

#Adoption – AI is here and it’s being used at scale:
✨30% of software firms globally have deployed GenAI tools

✨76% are using or are planning to use AI tools in their development process this year, an increase from last year (70%)

✨ 92% of U.S.-based developers are already using AI coding tools both in and outside of work

#Impact:
✨ 81% agree increasing productivity is the biggest benefit that developers identify

✨ Speeding up learning is seen as a bigger benefit to developers learning to code (71%) compared to professional developers (61%).

✨ Developers want more collaboration. More than 4 out of 5 developers expect AI coding tools will make their team more collaborative and want collaboration to be a top metric in performance reviews

While, the various surveys from GitHub, Forrester or#StackOverflow indicate quite some size in adoption & postive impact, what does this mean in the real-world of a large software company like Siemens?

Tune in to our new Siemens AI podcast 🎧: „Human&AI: Mind, Machines, & the Gradient Descent“ and join Arberie and me in this interdisciplinary 🏳️‍🌈 virtual format on the interfaces of what it means staying#human and being
#passioned about technology and#IndustrialAI.
In this episode , we explore the transformative impact of Generative AI on the Software Development Life-Cycle with industry experts Thomas Rettenmaier and #AdrianDischinger on our journey what it means of implementing and scaling GitHub Copilot at Siemens as a part of Dev [Boost].

👉 We’ll explore the critical evaluation of GitHub Copilot’s impact on developer#productivity and#satisfaction at Siemens

👉 Reflect on the challenges faced during its rollout, along with the valuable lessons learned

👉 Looking ahead, what significant advancements are expected for AI copilots in software engineering?

Whether you are a software development enthusiast or a professional navigating AI integration, this episode offers an engaging and insightful perspective on the evolving landscape of AI in software development.
