Hello, and welcome to today’s Carnegie Mellon University Software Engineering Institute’s webcast, Rethinking and Maturing AI Adoption. My name is Ipek Ozkaya, and I’m the Technical Director of AI Native Software Engineering at the SEI. And I’ve had the incredible pleasure of leading this project focused on AI adoption maturity with our team at the SEI and the incredible team at Accenture.
We want to make today’s conversation as interactive as possible. So please feel free to put your questions into the YouTube chat area. And we’ve already received close to 200 questions. There is no way we’ll be able to get through any of them in completeness, but we’ll try to get to them as much as possible afterwards.
It is no surprise today that businesses are — across all sectors are redefining themselves and going through a structural shift through AI solutions. And they are trying to redefine their operational relevance, their operational workflows as well as get ahead of the businesses through ROI. Software-driven organizations are also going through the same challenge. In fact, the software as a discipline is being redefined through AI, looking into efficiency, productivity and of course, some of the risks that come with it.
And clearly, all the organizations that deliver us the frontier models, OpenAI, Google, Microsoft and Anthropic are developing improved capabilities around the clock, and we’re receiving these capabilities around a lot faster. If we look into 2 years ago, the early generative AI models could barely solve some of the cybersecurity tasks. But today, we know the Mythos and GPT 5.5 could actually
