Access the Expert - How AI is Impacting Software Engineering with Dr Vahid Garousi

Tuesday 14 October 2025

You’re invited to next in the Access the Expert seminar series presents: “How AI is impacting Software Engineering” with Dr Vahid Garousi, Senior Lecturer in Software Engineering.

Artificial Intelligence is reshaping how we design, develop, test, maintain and operate the software systems that underpin our modern life. In this seminar, Dr. Vahid Garousi will explore how AI is transforming software engineering, from helping developers write and test code faster to enabling entirely new ways of ensuring software reliability and quality.

Drawing on global industry trends, his own ongoing research in this field via various ongoing European R&D projects, and collaborations with leading companies, he will share insights about how and where AI is being applied in software engineering.

The session will highlight opportunities and risks: what software firms stand to gain, what challenges remain, and how software engineers’ roles are evolving in the age of AI.

The seminar will also discuss potential opportunities for collaboration between academia (QUB) and local industry in NI, including technology transfer and the development of joint follow-up projects. This talk will offer practical takeaways for industry leaders, policymakers, and software engineers on how to harness AI responsibly in the engineering of software that increasingly runs our world.
