A detailed survey of Artificial Intelligence and Software Engineering: Emergent Issues

Recently, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become a trend and part of our typical mainstream albeit its existence ages ago. AI is at the top of the list of trending technologies and one of the hottest topics. In the coming decades, the world is going in the direction of increasing automation and cognitive technologies. This study attempts to explore and discuss the tipping points and evolution of AI. Further, it envisions the future impact that the advances of AI would have on occupations in various sectors such as technological unemployment. The study also tackles on the ethical and policy concerns involved in this upcoming AI evolution. Organizations should be able to manage both humans and robots at the same time. Software engineers' roles will be completely changed. Thus, we need to redesign education in a way that can make the future generations ready for the future that has a totally different requirement than ours. Policies should also be in place. If the AI applications are controlled by particular parties, AI will only represent that narrow and biased specific segment. The researchers should play an important role to make AI a beneficial invention rather than a risk to humanity.
