Artificial Intelligence in Software Development

Practical use of generative AI tools in Software Development can enhance productivity, improve code quality, and accelerate system development. Students develop skills in prompt engineering, model-based development, AI assisted development workflows, and the safe and ethical use of AI respecting copyright and privacy rights. Students perform fundamental AI lab activity modules and participate in a group project using generative AI tools to build applications incorporating chosen AI sub-components including image & voice recognition, use of external and locally-managed large language models, document analysis and summarization, and the use of retrieval augmented generation to enhance chatbot and agentic interfaces.
