Session Leads: Matt, Lukas, Peter This session explores how AI-assisted software development is transforming the way digital solutions are built and used across the E&P value chain. Bringing together perspectives from a major software vendor, operators, and startups, it examines how AI tools are reshaping the work of professional developers as well as geoscientists and engineers who increasingly co-develop software and workflows. Attendees will hear concrete examples of AI-assisted development in practice, from code generation and workflow automation to rapid prototyping of domain-specific applications. The discussion will highlight differences and common ground between large vendors, operators, and startups in tooling, governance, validation, and integration into existing technical environments. By contrasting the creator perspective (software engineers, data scientists, product teams) with that of newly empowered domain experts, the session will surface both opportunities and practical challenges of adopting AI-assisted development at scale—including quality control, IP and confidentiality, model and code validation, and change management. The session will close with lessons learned, common pitfalls, and emerging good practices for safely deploying AI-assisted development in E&P, and will invite an open discussion on what the community should do next.
