By Lars Hegenberg | Senior Innovation Researcher Last year we published a comprehensive guide to the already exciting AI-augmented coding space, including use cases throughout the entire Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC). Since then, adoption among enterprises has skyrocketed. It is one of the very few GenAI categories that has delivered clear, measurable ROI, and that is not by accident. Software engineering runs on logic, structure, and modular patterns, which is exactly where AI thrives.

By Troy Cogburn | Innovation Principal Over the past few years, we have seen an unprecedented rate of innovation in Artificial intelligence.
