Adopting AI in developing software applications

Hands-on use and adaptation of AI in developing software applications



General content:



Businesses are employing Artificial Intelligence (AI) in a variety of ways to improve efficiencies, save time and decrease costs. With continued advancements, AI is quickly becoming a precious resource for companies across industries. To better understand how businesses adopt and incorporate the use of AI in software development and our deliveries, we as a consultant company, would like the thesis to cover (to some extent):



Introduction to AI

Identify and analyze AI platforms (which are the top 3)

How can AI help IT-consulting companies (e.g grow customer business, replace/improve processes etc)

How AI can improve the software development process

How AI can help our development team and consultants take our

customers software to the next level

Impact on our workplace and the software development lifecycle

Risks in using and adopting AI at/for customers

Comparison & offering/bundle

Pricing



Application development areas to investigate for the use of AI (how flexible is the AI platform to integrate, what can it replace in the development steps, what to consider when building AI etc). Examples given below and to be selected as part of thesis work in collaboration with students:

Build and deploy

Release management

CI/CD

Tools for dev

Integration/API

Databases

CMS (Content management systems)

Security features/Authentication

Documentation

Miscellaneous Comparison e.g

Laws and regulations to consider



Main objective:

 How to design and implement applications using AI to reach flexibility, maintenance, scalability and with low cost for customers.

 How to modernize applications by using AI for customers.



Except for writing the thesis the work also should include building a small application with the use of AI (e.g ChatGPT). Suggestions of applications to build is to be decided, but suggestions of possible applications could be API’s, CMS/intranet etc.



The work is possible to fit to the scope of the thesis work (10 or 20 weeks) in dialogue with students. Adaptation and scoping of areas will need to be considered.



We prefer to have students that have hands-on experience in IT and from the “real world” such as extra work, summer work, trainee or similar.
