Why verification, not prompting, could shape the next decade of engineering

Prediction: AI will make formal verification go mainstream — Martin Kleppmann’s blog
Much has been said about the effects that AI will have on software development, but there is an angle I haven’t seen talked about: I believe that AI will bring formal verification, which for decades has been a bit of a fringe pursuit, into the software engineering mainstream.

There is a fact about the future that I feel many people are not facing for reasons that are largely psychological: there are going to be rogue AIs that exist in the world, that will replicate in the wild, and that will attempt to acquire resources for themselves. There will be…— Joshua Achiam (@jachiam0) September 1, 2026

The World Development Report 2026 explores how artificial intelligence is reshaping development as a general‑purpose technology.

The Future Worth Building Is Human
AI built for autonomy crowds people out, making us passive observers of what’s coming. We’re building toward a different future.

From users to architects: Why girls must shape the future of AI
If girls aren’t shaping AI, we’re building a broken future. Empowering young women in tech is now a global necessity, not just a matter of fairness.
