Crypto-agility: The unsung hero in the quantum security race /dk-en/insights/expert-perspectives/crypto-agility-the-unsung-hero-in-the-quantum-security-race/ /dk-en/insights/expert-perspectives/crypto-agility-the-unsung-hero-in-the-quantum-security-race/#respond Tue, 29 Jul 2025 06:33:13 +0000 /dk-en/?p=867168&preview=true&preview_id=867168

Crypto-agility: The unsung hero in the quantum security race

Marco Pereira
Jul 29, 2025

In the global race to secure digital infrastructure against quantum threats, post-quantum cryptography (PQC) often takes the spotlight 鈥 and rightly so. Quantum computing has the potential to break the cryptographic systems that currently protect our data, communications, and national infrastructure.

But there鈥檚 another capability that deserves equal attention 鈥 crypto-agility. Quietly, but powerfully, it is emerging as the foundational layer upon which a truly quantum-resilient future will be built.

What is crypto-agility 鈥 and why it matters

Just as security by design and, more recently, privacy by design have become essential principles in the development of modern IT solutions, it’s time to embrace a new imperative: crypto-agility by design. In a world where cryptographic algorithms can become obsolete overnight 鈥 due to advances in computing power, quantum threats, or newly discovered vulnerabilities 鈥 crypto-agility is no longer optional.

Crypto-agility is the ability to swiftly switch between cryptographic algorithms 鈥 whether in response to a new vulnerability or to adopt an emerging standard 鈥 without disrupting operations. It鈥檚 not about replacing cryptography once; it鈥檚 about building the flexibility to respond again and again as threats evolve, and standards mature.

This proactive approach ensures long-term resilience and trustworthiness, much like how security and privacy are now embedded from the ground up. As digital ecosystems grow more complex and interconnected, crypto-agility must become a foundational design principle 鈥 not an afterthought.

Quantum computing isn鈥檛 the only threat. The recent vulnerabilities in widely used libraries like OpenSSL are stark reminders of how brittle our current cryptographic landscape can be. Yet, our recent CRI research reveals a troubling picture:

  • Only 35% say their organizations maintain a centralized inventory of all cryptographic keys, algorithms, and certificates in use.
  • 54% of organizations operate on legacy infrastructure that lacks compatibility with modern cryptographic standards.
  • Just 40% are prepared to respond effectively to the discovery of a critical vulnerability in a widely used cryptographic library.

These are not just technical blind spots 鈥 they are business risks.

Building crypto-agility: What it takes

Crypto-agility isn鈥檛 a feature you can simply buy off the shelf. It must be intentionally designed into your systems, processes, and organizational culture. Here鈥檚 what that journey looks like:

  • Maintain a live cryptographic inventory: Know which algorithms, keys, and certificates are in use 鈥 and where they reside.
  • Automate key and certificate management: Manual processes cannot keep up with today鈥檚 evolving threat landscape.
  • Design modular, update-ready systems: Avoid hard-coded cryptography. Use configuration files and CI/CD pipelines for rapid updates.
  • Rotate keys regularly: Annual key rotation should be the baseline 鈥 automated rotation is even better.

The barriers are real 鈥 but so are the rewards

Crypto-agility is not just a technical challenge; it鈥檚 an organizational shift. Our CRI research shows that:

  • 67% of organizations struggle with dedicated budget and personnel for crypto transitions.
  • 59% lack the expertise to assess, plan, and implement crypto-agility.
  • 54% operate on legacy infrastructure that鈥檚 incompatible with modern standards.

These numbers reflect inertia 鈥 but they also highlight the opportunity for leaders to act before the curve. As Bernd Meurer, Field CTO at BT Group, notes:

鈥淢any of our customers have done a high-level assessment of systems and communication interfaces, but a full impact analysis for post-quantum readiness is still in draft in many cases.鈥 

This is the reality for many large enterprises 鈥 and a call to action for all.

Some early adopters are embedding crypto-agility into their PQC pilots through hybrid cryptography, which combines classical and quantum-safe algorithms. This allows them to test emerging standards without breaking existing systems.

A strategic advantage in the post-quantum era

Crypto-agility is the bridge between today鈥檚 encryption and tomorrow鈥檚 post-quantum world. It enables resilience not just against quantum, but also against the unknowns that lie ahead in our increasingly complex threat landscape.

At 乌鸦传媒, we believe that crypto-agility is no longer a 鈥渘ice to have.鈥 It鈥檚 a core business capability, and a marker of forward-thinking leadership. Organizations that build it now will gain the flexibility to evolve, adapt, and thrive 鈥 no matter how the future unfolds.

The quantum era is coming.
Crypto-agility will define who鈥檚 ready.

    Shaping the inclusive leaders of tomorrow聽

    Karine Vasselin
    Jul 25, 2025

    At 乌鸦传媒, our commitment to inclusion isn鈥檛 just limited to our people, but extends to supporting the next generation of leaders, ensuring they can build the inclusive workplaces of tomorrow through key partnerships like our long-term collaboration with HEC Paris. 

    As a business partner to HEC Paris, we鈥檝e mentored batches of 25 students for a Master鈥檚 course on diversity and inclusion (D&I) in the last three years. We help students understand our approach toward inclusion at 乌鸦传媒 and propose a team challenge, aligned with the latest D&I trends and topics. Students are then given six weeks to complete their research and present their final reports in our Paris office.  

    Working with Matteo Winkler, Associate Professor at HEC Paris, who teaches courses on international business law as well as diversity and inclusion, this is an opportunity for us to connect with emerging talent, test new ideas, and anticipate trends while we mentor them through real-world challenges. 

    In this blog, Matteo and I take a closer look at this year鈥檚 challenge and what we as practitioners can learn from it.

    About the partnership

    Matteo: When I created this course years ago as part of the Master of Management program of CEMS (previously the Community of European School of Management), which has now evolved into a global alliance of business schools of which HEC Paris is a partner. I looked for a company committed to inclusion, and who could help my students understand the challenges that D&I poses to both corporate leadership and day-to-day operations. 乌鸦传媒 felt like a natural fit.

    The focus for the 2025 student challenge 

    Karine: Each year, we set the students a challenge, designed to stretch their thinking 鈥 past topics have included understanding the role of ENGs as inclusion activators or discussions on the emerging debate on inclusion versus meritocracy, or whether DEI trainings should be mandatory or voluntary. The topic this year, 鈥2025 鈥 a turning point for DEI,鈥 was set to encourage a focus on emerging trends, even before the US executive orders were issued in January 2025.

    Students were briefed to provide a rational analysis of the global situation, factoring in opportunities and risks from a regional perspective, and drawing on concepts developed during Matteo鈥檚 classes, and fed with their own academic research. 

    Matteo: We鈥檙e seeing a global narrative shift: before January 2025, we needed DEI corporate programs to not discriminate against minorities and people from non-privileged backgrounds. Particularly those who were unable to reach positions of power in a corporate setting. 

    The Executive Orders in the US tell us the contrary; we now need to dismantle these programs 鈥 to not discriminate, following the 2023 Supreme Court ruling ending affirmative action in the US education system.  

    In the US, the risks for companies who do not comply with regulations is financially high, compared to Europe. So the narrative has changed, and private organizations (if they have federal funding or not) are in many cases, abiding.  

    This team assignment encouraged students to consider how global and local organizations continue to build diverse and inclusive places to work: where the definition of diversity, the collection of people data, work-related policies and benefits and more are directly impacted by local laws around the world. 

    The findings from our student teams 

    Matteo: As my colleague and panel member Marcelle Lalibert茅 has said, for major global companies, it鈥檚 as if you鈥檙e steering a global organization through rapidly shifting waters 鈥 with political tides in the US pushing back on diversity efforts, in Europe you鈥檙e facing regulatory currents that require you to provide details on pay gaps, and in the Middle East you may be aiming to embed global DEI standards into a local context. Against this backdrop, the student teams highlighted several risks:  

    • Legal vulnerability 鈥 organizations are facing new legal and regulatory challenges pulling in different directions: from executive orders in the US rescinding diversity initiatives to the increased (and evolving) public reporting duties of the EU Corporate Social Reporting Directive (CSRD) and strengthened anti-discrimination laws in APAC.  
    • Potential political and cultural backlash for company reputations, as they attempt to strike the balance between supporting marginalized groups and inclusion for all.  
    • Slower progress on DEI goals 鈥 economic downturns means DEI budgets, roles, and overall progress is at risk, as companies prioritize cost-cutting. 
    • Talent exodus 鈥 most job seekers consider workplace diversity important when evaluating companies, and may look elsewhere if organizations change their commitments.  

    With D&I at a crossroads, the student teams identified some key opportunities in shaping and evolving global strategies: 

    • Establishing a flexible DEI framework allows for region-specific modifications while maintaining a unified global commitment. 
    • Skills-based hiring and inclusive leadership 鈥 continuing merit-based hiring and leadership development enhances diversity while ensuring compliance in restrictive regions. 
    • Compliance as a competitive advantage 鈥 successfully delivering on ESG commitments can position a company as an industry leader in fair and inclusive practices and continue to attract talent. 

    Key reflections for organizations like 乌鸦传媒 

    Karine: The students navigated an extremely complex topic. Overall, the recommendations from the student teams followed broad themes for global organizations to consider: 

    1. Reaffirm and communicate organizational commitment toward the diversity and inclusion ambition, as a fundamental ingredient of their identity and success 
    2. Demonstrate agility, repositioning DEI initiatives to make them accessible for all and more engaging for all employees, and partnering with talent, health and safety, or wellbeing programs 
    3. Use data-driven insights and employee feedback to guide actions and increase transparency on global and location actions and impact 
    4. Leave flexibility for localized DEI initiatives and expertise under a global framework, strengthening leadership pipelines and fostering a culture of belonging through education and mentorship 
    5. Build client-focused strategies to strengthen relationships, collaborate, and grow. 

    The presentations from the teams were excellent. Inclusion in the workplace is critical for all businesses. We were delighted to hear their views on the complex situation in 2025, building their experiences and helping them to be ready to make an impact in their future. 

    Together with HEC Paris, I look forward to another year of our continued collaboration!

        乌鸦传媒鈥檚 winning formula for financial operations excellence

        FinOps is more than a methodology. It鈥檚 a cultural shift that promotes accountability by aligning cloud engineering and finance teams to function as a cohesive unit. This collaboration enables near real-time, data-driven decision-making to ensure every dollar spent is optimized.

        However, the FinOps team has encountered several challenges when a structured approach is not consistently applied. While FinOps offers a robust framework of principles and capabilities, implementing isolated initiatives or selectively adopting a few principles on an ad hoc basis often results in only short-term gains. Enterprises struggle to realize the full potential of FinOps due to fragmented adoption and the absence of a unified strategy.

        Some of the key challenges include:

        • Delays in execution: Cloud engineers often face bottlenecks due to delayed approvals from the application portfolio team, impeding progress on proposed initiatives.
        • Lack of real-time insights: The absence of a comprehensive tooling platform limits access to timely data, making informed decision-making difficult.
        • Unclear ownership: Limited visibility about relevant technical and functional stakeholders who owns the cloud resources hampers the ability to drive decisions forward efficiently.

        A cohesive and well-structured FinOps strategy is essential to overcoming these barriers and unlocking long-term value.

        In our approach to FinOps, we collaborate closely with enterprises to establish a top-down framework that is strengthened by executive sponsorship and empowered teams. At the heart of our approach lies transparency, which serves as the foundation for all decision-making and collaboration. overall methodology is built on the three pillars:

        1. People 鈥 Empowering FinOps team with clear roles and accountability
        2. Assets 鈥 Aligning strategic vision with financial and operational goals
        3. Tools 鈥 Leveraging robust tools and data to drive informed, real-time decisions.

        Designated people forming the FinOps team 鈥 including FinOps practitioners, assigned engineers, and analysts 鈥 collaborate across teams to conduct a comprehensive 360掳 analysis of cloud resources, aligned with each FinOps capability. To help customers initiate their FinOps journey, we鈥檝e developed a Flash Assessment. This instrument is designed to provide a clear understanding of the current ecosystem and identify key areas for optimization around strategy, cloud consumption visibility, optimization, adoption, and tooling and automation.

        Once the initial step toward FinOps is complete, we advocate for treating FinOps not as a linear lifecycle but as a continuous, iterative process. This approach empowers clients to embrace a dynamic and ongoing cloud operations model, i.e., FinOps as a service.

        FinOps should evolve through progressive stages, starting with Crawl, advancing to Walk, and eventually reaching Run. This phased approach allows organizations to begin with a modest scope and gradually scale in size, complexity, and capability. To support this journey, we鈥檝e developed a FinOps Maturity Assessment based on proven, cloud-agnostic best practices drawn from our extensive experience across diverse enterprises. This assessment helps customers establish a clear baseline for FinOps adoption across key capability areas.

        乌鸦传媒 Flash Assessment is a rapid, high-level evaluation methodology applied across various domains. On the other side, a FinOps Maturity Assessment offers a structured approach to evaluating an organization鈥檚 capabilities in managing cloud financial operations.

        Additionally, we鈥檝e developed a comprehensive internal FinOps repository that serves as a centralized resource hub. These resources are thoughtfully curated to help optimize operations and enhance the financial efficiency of cloud infrastructure services. It includes:

        • Standard operating procedures to guide consistent execution
        • An automation library focused on streamlining and automating key FinOps initiatives to boost efficiency
        • A best practices cookbook that captures industry-standard approaches.

        In today鈥檚 dynamic enterprise environment, organizations rely on a broad spectrum of FinOps tools, including cloud-native services, third-party applications, open-source tools, and custom build/proprietary platforms to meet their operational goals. Our strategy is intentionally designed to be flexible and inclusive. We support native tools from hyperscalers, client-owned FinOps solutions, and third-party platforms alike. This approach ensures resilient and adaptable support for FinOps operations, regardless of the tooling landscape.

        Complementing these tools, we offer internally developed dashboards, both hyperscaler-specific and multicloud, that empower data-driven decision-making across FinOps initiatives.

        Our differentiator: FinOps beyond basics We take a forward-thinking approach to FinOps, one that goes beyond the traditional focus on IaaS cost optimization through resource tuning, waste reduction, or rate negotiation. Instead, we enable enterprises to significantly advance their FinOps maturity by adopting our accelerators with a comprehensive and step-by-step approach:

        This holistic approach empowers organizations to undergo a cultural and operational transformation, integrating financial accountability, engineering agility, and real-time decision-making. We emphasize adopting these principles collectively, as overemphasis on any single area may lead to imbalances and unintended challenges.

          Beyond the hype: Why agentic AI is a must-have for today鈥檚 businesses

          Rajesh Iyer
          May 19, 2025

          鈥淓veryone is obsessing over agentic AI, and rightfully so. When it comes to operational agility, autonomous agentic systems are set to deliver game-changing benefits to enterprises. In the coming years, the successful integration of these systems won鈥檛 just be a good idea, it鈥檒l be the defining factor that separates industry leaders from the rest of the competition.鈥 鈥 Rajesh S. Iyer 

          In our world, there are many kinds of agents. Travel agents help us book travel plans, with everything from flight bookings to hotel reservations falling under their jurisdiction. Sports agents help professional athletes navigate the legal and business side of sports, enabling clients to maximize their career and financial opportunities. Secret agents typically deal with top-secret matters.  

          What about AI agents? Regarded for their intelligence and ability to tackle business challenges with flexibility and precision, AI agents have quickly become a hot topic for business leaders. The same goes for autonomous AI systems, which are growing increasingly more prominent within organizations.  

          While the terms agentic AI and autonomous AI are often used interchangeably, these systems have distinctive qualities that set them apart. Autonomous AI refers to systems that can operate independently within predefined parameters, like self-driving cars or factory robotics. On the other hand, agentic systems are equipped with a deeper sense of agency. These systems are designed to actively pursue goals, dynamically adapt strategies, and make context-dependent decisions. In short, all agentic AI is autonomous, however not all autonomous AI is agentic.  

          As more organizations look to integrate AI agents and autonomous AI systems into their operations, a new kind of partnership between people and technology is emerging 鈥 one that鈥檚 pushing businesses to learn and evolve. 

          Making a real-world impact: from education to finance 

          The benefits of AI agents and autonomous AI systems are already materializing across industries. In an effort to enhance its learning experiences, a US-based non-profit education company recently started leveraging an that autonomously supports educators and students. Providing teachers with an online teaching assistant and students with an online learning coach, this system helps break complex educational goals into actionable tasks 鈥 completely revolutionizing the classroom experience.  

          The financial sector is also reeling in the benefits of autonomous agentic systems. In the US, a major bank is using to autonomously handle tasks like interest rate queries, account openings, and fund transfers, drastically improving operational efficiency. Across the globe in India, a leading digital lending and savings platform is leveraging an to automate its customer support services. Since integrating the agent into their operations, the platform has managed to automate 70% of its support tickets in multiple languages, delivering a vast reduction in costs and faster ticket resolution times. 

          As organizations continue to leverage these systems and the technology itself continues to develop, benefits such as those mentioned here are just the beginning of a much broader transformation.  

          Looking forward: a bright future ahead  

          Agentic systems are at the forefront of the next wave of automation and AI. Representing a powerful shift for enterprises, these systems are positioned to improve operational efficiency, workplace collaboration, and customer satisfaction 鈥 transforming how organizations across industries pursue their strategic objectives.  

          Though the benefits of agentic systems are certainly apparent, human oversight and the continuous adaptation of these systems are paramount for their success. Collaboration between humans and technology must remain at the core of any agentic system to build trust, safeguard privacy, and ensure resilience. As challenges like missing data, system outages, or other unexpected conditions arise, businesses must be able to adjust their systems at speed. Addressing this confluence of factors will dictate whether organizations successfully integrate autonomous agentic systems into their value chains. 

          These agents aren鈥檛 just tools, but rather catalysts for change capable of unlocking new levels of productivity, personalization, and innovation. The path forward is full of promise for those who are ready to embrace the next chapter of AI-powered business operations. As humans and machines continue to collaborate, the possibilities are only beginning to unfold.

            Should we use generative AI for embedded and safety software development? /dk-en/insights/expert-perspectives/should-we-use-generative-ai-for-embedded-and-safety-software-development/ /dk-en/insights/expert-perspectives/should-we-use-generative-ai-for-embedded-and-safety-software-development/#respond Tue, 13 May 2025 09:47:48 +0000 /dk-en/?p=865134&preview=true&preview_id=865134

            Should we use generative AI for embedded and safety software development?

            Vivien Leger
            May 6, 2025
            capgemini-engineering

            The idea of deploying generative AI (Gen AI) in software for safety critical systems may sound like a non-starter. With , it鈥檚 hard to imagine it playing a role in the safety-critical or embedded software used in applications like automatic braking, energy distribution management, or heart rate monitoring.

            Engineering teams are right to be cautious about Gen AI. But they should also keep an open mind. Software development is about much more than coding. Design, specification, and validation can collectively consume more time than actual coding, and here, Gen AI can significantly reduce overall development time and cost. It could even improve quality.

            Incorporating Gen AI in safety-critical environments

            Before we come onto these areas, let鈥檚 quickly address the elephant in the room: Gen AI coding. AI code generation for safety-critical software is not impossible, but it would need extensive training of the AI algorithms, rigorous testing processes, and will bring a lot of complexities. Right now, Gen AI should never directly touch a safety-critical line of code. But we should certainly keep an eye on it, as Gen AI code writing as it advances in other sectors.

            However, other areas 鈥 from specification to validation 鈥 are ripe for Gen AI innovation. Our recent 乌鸦传媒 Research Institute report, Turbocharging software with Gen AI, found that software professionals felt Gen AI could assist with 28% of software design, 26% of development, and 25% of testing in the next two years. In the report, one Senior Director of Software Product Engineering at a major global pharmaceutical company was quoted as saying: 鈥渦se cases like bug fixing and documentation are fast emerging, with others like UX design, requirement writing, etc. just around the corner.鈥

            Software design

            Let鈥檚 consider how the software development journey may look, just a few years from now. Let鈥檚 say you are designing a control system for car steering, plane landing gear, or a medical device (pick a product in your industry).

            Right at the start, you probably have a project brief. Your company or customer has given you a high-level description of the software鈥檚 purpose. Gen AI can analyze this, alongside regulatory standards, to propose functional and non-functional requirements. It will still need work to get it perfect, but it has saved you a lot of time.

            However, you want to go beyond technical requirements and ensure this works for the user. Thus, you ask Gen AI to develop a wide range of user stories, so you can design solutions that pre-empt problems. That includes the obvious ones you would have come up with, Gen AI just writes them more quickly. But it includes all the weird and wonderful ways that future customers will use and abuse your product, ways that never would have occurred to a sensible software engineer like you.

            In most cases, this is about improving the user experience, but it could also prevent disasters. For example, many of Boeing鈥檚 recent troubles , which led to two crashes. While the software was a technically well-designed safety feature, its implementation overlooked pilot training requirements and risks from sensor failures. This is the sort of real-world possibility that Gen AI can help identify, getting engineers who are laser-focused on a specific problem to see the bigger picture.

            Armed with this insight, you start writing the code. While the AI doesn鈥檛 have any direct influence on the code, you may let it take a hands-off look at your code at each milestone, and make recommendations for improvements against the initial brief, which you can decide whether to act upon.

            Test and validation

            Once you have a software product you are happy with, Gen AI is back in the game for testing. This is perhaps one of its most valuable roles in safety-critical systems. In our CRI report, 54% of professionals cited improved testing speed as one of the top sources of Gen AI productivity improvements.

            Gen AI can start the verification process by conducting a first code review, comparing code industry standards (eg. for automotive, for aerospace), to check for errors, bugs, and security risks. You still need to review it, but a lot of the basic stuff you would have spent time looking for has been sorted in the first pass, saving you time, and giving you more headspace to ensure everything is perfect.

            Once you are satisfied with the product, you want to test it. Your Gen AI assistant can quickly generate test cases 鈥 sets of inputs to determine whether a software application behaves as expected 鈥 faster and more accurately than when you did it manually. This is already a reality in critical industries, as Fabio Veronese, Head of ICT Industrial Delivery at Enel Grids noted in our report that his company uses generative AI for user acceptance tests.

            And, when you are confident your software product is robust, Gen AI can help generate the 鈥榩roofs鈥 to show it works and will function under all specified conditions. For example, in the rail industry, trains rely on automated systems to process signals, ensuring trains stop, go, or slow down at the right times. Gen AI can look at data readouts and create 鈥榩roofs鈥 that show each step of the signal processing is done correctly and on time under various conditions 鈥 and generate the associated documents.

            In fact, as you progress through these processes, Gen AI can expedite the creation and completion of required documentation, by populating predefined templates and compliance matrices with test logs. This ensures consistency and accuracy in reporting and saves engineering time.

            Automating processes

            Gen AI can also help you automate many laborious processes that can be so mundane that human brains struggle to stay focused, thus creating the risk of error.

            Take the example of the process used in the space industry for addressing software defects. When a defect is discovered, developers must create a report documenting this defect, develop a test to reproduce the defect, correct the defect in a sandbox, put the updated software through a verification process, reimplement the corrected code back into the main project, and finally test it in within the product.

            A five-minute code fix may take hours of meetings and tens of emails. This is exactly the sort of task Gen AI is well suited to support. Any organization writing safety-critical software will have hundreds of such tedious documentation and procedural compliance processes. We believe (in some cases) that as much as 80% of the time could be saved in such processes by deploying Gen AI for routine work.

            Don鈥檛 just take our word for it. Speaking to us for our report, Akram Sheriff, Senior Software Engineering Leader at Cisco Systems notes that, 鈥淥ne of the biggest drivers of generative AI adoption is innovation. Not just on the product side but also on the process side. While senior professionals leverage generative AI combined with their domain expertise for product innovation, junior professionals see value in AI process and tool innovation, and in automation and productivity optimization.鈥

            Managing the risks to get the rewards

            Despite all these opportunities, we must acknowledge that this is a new and fast-moving field. There are risks, including the correctness of outputs (Gen AI can hallucinate plausible but wrong answers), inherited risk from underlying models, and bias in training data. But there are also risks of not acting out of fear, and missing out on huge rewards while your competitors speed ahead.

            Gen AI needs safeguards, but also a flexible architecture that allows companies to quickly adopt, test, and use new Gen AI technologies, and evolve their uses as needs demand.

            In our report, we propose a risk model (see image 1). It states that any use of Gen AI requires (a) a proper assessment of the risks and (b) that 鈥 where mistakes could have serious consequences 鈥 you have the expertise to assess whether the outputs are correct.

            Image 1: A risk assessment framework to kickstart generative AI implementation in software engineering

            For now, safety-critical code creation will fall into 鈥楴ot safe to use鈥, because the consequence of error is high, and the expertise needed to assess the code would probably be more of a burden than starting from scratch. However, testing would fall into 鈥楿se with caution鈥, because it would provide valuable insights about software behavior, that experts can assess.

            Finally, a key part of managing risks is comprehensive user training to understand how Gen AI works and its strengths and weaknesses. In our research, 51% of senior executives said that leveraging Gen AI in software engineering will require significant investment to upskill the software workforce. Yet only 39% of organizations have a generative AI upskilling program for software engineering.

            There is a real risk of becoming overly reliant on, or trusting of, Gen AI. We must ensure that humans retain their ability to think critically about the fundamental nature of software and safety. Software engineers must be well-informed and remain actively engaged in verification and decision-making processes, so they can spot problems and be ready to step in if Gen AI reaches its limits.

            In conclusion

            While Gen AI won’t be building safety-critical software on its own anytime soon, it has the potential to enhance development, documentation, and quality assurance right across the software development lifecycle. In doing so, it can not only save time and money, and speed time to market, but it can even improve safety.

            Companies like 乌鸦传媒 can help shape achievable, phased roadmaps for Gen AI adoption. We guide organizations to integrate AI carefully, following sensible adaption and risk management frameworks and deploying appropriate training, ensuring both its potential and limitations are carefully navigated.
