#1589 Consider updating existing SFIA skills to reflect AI's impact on professional practice change request pending
Many existing SFIA skills now involve professional practice in which AI tools play a significant role, and skill descriptors may need updating to reflect this.
Examples raised included the AI transformation of skills such as data analysis, architecture, business analysis, programming/software development and testing; the need for descriptors to reflect modern practice rather than pre-AI ways of working; and a structured assessment of which skills are most affected by AI.
This has an impact across multiple existing skills rather than a single change. It may need a systematic approach, e.g. a typology of how AI affects each skill, rather than skill-by-skill amendment.
