Industry practitioners indicate that generative AI heightens demand for prompting and output evaluation skills while reinforcing the value of problem-solving, critical thinking, architecture design, and debugging in software engineering.
This interpretive synthesis maps three coexisting software engineering paradigms (Traditional, Generative AI-Enabled, Agentic AI-Enabled), proposes a five-category competency framework, and derives nine testable propositions about the shift toward human-AI collaboration.
