Register for "Rethinking and Maturing AI Adoption" on June 9, 1:30 p.m. ET.

In this webcast, experts from the Software Engineering Institute at Carnegie Mellon University and Accenture will share technical insights and lessons learned from maturing AI adoption in complex environments. They will demonstrate how a nimble assessment instrument such as the road-tested AI Adoption Maturity Model fills critical gaps faced by organizations adopting AI.

The panel of speakers include Anita Carleton, John Haller, Ipek Ozkaya, Tony Leraris, Majd Sakr, Kaveh Safavi, and Rajendra Prasad (RP) -

In this webcast, Eileen Wrubel, Christina Rhylander, Julie B. Cohen, and Aaron Reffett discuss the why, what, and how behind metrics that will enable your team to move from “just collecting data” to using metrics that enable better decision making, improve program outcomes, and deliver mission value -

AI is enabling developers to move from idea to implementation at incredible speeds. However, this fast pace has implications that teams must manage. Product quality does not come for free, and AI can accelerate the accumulation of technical debt. In addition, what works well on small code bases doesn't always work as well on large ones.

So, what's a good software engineer to do?

AI is rapidly changing how software is produced but not the need to engineer software to meet business and mission goals. Software engineering principles and practices are essential in guiding software engineers to use AI to achieve production-ready outcomes.
