AI adoption for software: a guide to learning, tool selection, and delivery

CircleCI's exploration of artificial intelligence (AI) aims to help organizations incorporate AI into their operations through a structured approach, moving from ideation to production. The guide emphasizes the importance of identifying clear business objectives, analyzing opportunities, assessing team readiness, and experimenting with AI tools in a sandbox environment. CircleCI's process involves leveraging existing models where possible and considering the development of custom models when necessary, while also navigating the complexities of AI model variability and testing. The evolution of traditional CI/CD workflows to accommodate AI/ML processes presents new challenges, such as maintaining AI-generated code and ensuring security and compliance, which CircleCI suggests can be addressed through continuous iteration and collaboration.
