AI in DevSecOps: Moving from A Co-Pilot to
An Autopilot
By Stephen Chin, VP of Developer Relations, JFrog
What do autonomous driving and software (SW) development have in common? At first glance, not much.
But when taking a closer look under the hood you’ll begin to see some similarities, especially in the
evolutionary path towards underlying targets. Development teams won’t become “passengers” per se,
but the traditional roles and responsibilities of the personas involved in designing, creating, securing,
distributing, and operating SW will begin to shift. To connect the dots, let's begin by delving into the
concept of autonomous driving and then relate it back to SW development.
The concept of autonomous driving has been around for years, and what once seemed like a futuristic
concept is today’s reality. At their core, autonomous vehicles (AVs) are aimed at minimizing human errors
in traffic, accounting for ~90% of accidents today. The fundamental premise of AVs is that they should
outperform an average human driver. Importantly, self-driving technology has the potential to free up an
extremely valuable resource: time. This enables people to devote their focus to more gratifying pastimes
instead of being tied up in traffic.
