SAG Expert Interview #04: AI’s Impact on Software Architecture & Women in Tech
summary
AI appears across the lifecycle: coding assistance, scenario generation, test data and observability using pattern recognition; one claim is 25% of Google code is now generated by coding assistants, while a study shows the best refactorings correct 33% of the time, so generated code inflates commit size and often breaks existing code. An Air Canada chatbot example shows legal risk when models invent policies. Architects must weigh long‑term asset value, tool proliferation, measurable tests for debt, and new risk criteria for deployment.
