Brace yourself: The era of 'citizen developers' creating apps is here, thanks to AI
Citizen developers will deliver 30% of Gen AI-infused automation apps in the coming year, leveraging their domain expertise to envision and develop solutions. However, this shift also highlights the need for training and guidance to ensure safely provisioned and controlled proliferation of AI models and copilot platforms. As citizen developers experiment with no-code applications, a hybrid approach remains essential to handle tasks that are better suited to visual representation.
- The emergence of Gen AI-powered coding has significant implications for the future of software development, where non-professionals will increasingly rely on low-code and no-code platforms to create applications.
- How will the growing reliance on citizen developers impact the role of professional software developers in the industry, and what are the potential consequences for innovation and quality control?
