Who Wins and Who Loses? How AI Coding Tools Will Impact Different Types of Businesses
How Generative AI will impact product engineering teams — Part 5
This is the fifth part of a six part series investigating how generative AI productivity tools aimed at developers, like Github Copilot, ChatGPT and Amazon CodeWhisperer might impact the structure of entire product engineering teams.
In Part 4, we explored:
- The opportunities Generative AI presents for organisations during an economic downturn and diminished venture capital funding.
- Three scenarios for companies to take advantage of higher developer productivity with the introduction of Generative AI productivity tools: investing for growth, cost-cutting, and maintaining current budgets
- Hypothetical consequences and challenges, like drastically altered team compositions and what these changes could mean for product managers and engineers.
Cui Bono — Who benefits?
There are always winners and losers when the business environment changes rapidly. So far, we’ve been discussing the benefits and the possible impact of Generative AI tools from the perspective of a hypothetical model, but we have glossed over a lot of unspoken caveats.
