CGI leaders Dave Henderson, Chief Technology Officer, Frederic Miskawi, Vice President and Global Applied AI Lead, Tara McGeehan, President CGI UK & Australia Operations, explore how AI is transforming the role of software engineers and the wider technology workforce.

The discussion focuses on how AI is automating parts of technical implementation, shifting the emphasis of engineering roles toward orchestration, solution architecture, business understanding, governance, and client engagement. Rather than replacing engineers, AI is changing the skills organisations value most - including critical thinking, collaboration, responsible oversight, and the ability to design solutions around real business needs.

The speakers also reflect on how organisations must adapt their talent strategies, learning pathways, and operating models as AI adoption accelerates.
