This repository contains the Week 06 assignment “AI: Future Directions in Software Engineering” and delivers a premium-quality submission that includes: structured analysis, impact mapping, a multi-horizon roadmap, runnable example code, scenario case studies, and visual branding. The content is tailored to demonstrate thoughtful, actionable directions where AI can shape the future of software engineering.

• Provide a clear analysis of future directions for AI in software engineering
• Produce prioritized, actionable recommendations (short-, mid-, long-term)
• Include examples, prototypes, and reproducible artifacts demonstrating feasibility
• Present a professional roadmap and impact map for stakeholders and researchers

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/software-development-course-2025/ai-se-w06-future-directions
cd ai-se-w06-future-directions

2. Create a Python virtual environment and install basic deps (if needed):

python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate      # or `venv\Scripts\activate` on Windows
pip install -r requirements.txt || echo "No requirements file provided"

3. Run the example prototype:

python src/ai_insights.py

4. Read the roadmap and docs under /docs and /roadmap.

• Analysis: deep-dive future directions and justification
• Impact map: stakeholders, value, risks, and dependencies
• Roadmap: prioritized near-, mid-, and long-term milestones
• Examples: reproducible prototypes and scenarios
• Branding: clean header and badges for the repo

Contributions are welcome. For reproducibility:

• Keep examples small and focused
• Document data sources for any experiments
• Add tests or notebooks if a feature expands
