Software Engineering for AI

The Focus Group “Software Engineering for AI” involves Hans Fischer Senior Fellow Prof. Zhenchang Xing (CSIRO) and his host Prof. Chunyang Chen (Software Engineering & AI, TUM School of Computation, Information and Technology).

The Focus Group explores the intersection of software engineering, human-computer interaction, and artificial intelligence to build next-generation AI-driven systems that are efficient, explainable, and trustworthy. A key aspect of our research is addressing the emerging need for natural language programming paradigms, where AI enables users to interact with systems through intuitive, human-friendly languages. This shift demands new software engineering methods and tools that stand on the shoulders of AI to streamline development, enhance productivity, and ensure responsible AI practices. Our research is highly relevant as AI plays a growing role in safety-critical industries like HSE. Trust in AI systems is essential to ensure compliance, reduce risks, and improve safety. Through this focus group, we aim to advance responsible AI development, not only focusing on AI’s high performance but also on creating adaptable and transparent software engineering frameworks that empower users and developers alike, unlocking the full potential of AI-driven systems.
