How is AI changing web development?

It is estimated that currently 77% of smart devices have some sort of AI tied into their OS. This ranges from Windows Cortana, Apple’s Siri, Amazon’s Alexa for just the consumer side of technology. With no signs of slowing down, it is estimated that the AI sector will reach upwards of $60 Billion in the next few years (2025). This expansive industry is also reaching into using machine learning to further bridge the gap between User interface and user Experience. By hybridizing development platforms such as visual studio and ML technology it can be expected to analyze user interface to further optimize the user experience. It can be used in the analyzation of code and how it works with each parts of the platform, and optimize for users to want to interact with the website. It has even expanded into the occasionally helpful chatbots seen with larger websites that had predefined paths of conversation, to where it can actually interpret user questions and help to determine their goals. They even can adapt to regional slang and mannerisms found in chat to help further determine what is needed. There are webservices such as sketch2code, that can interpret your sketches on what features and design the user would like their site to look like, and can write an interpreted HTML format for their website. Finally, of course AI is being used with ML for analytics of user data. Analyzing which buttons most often have users going to the previous web page, what pages have the most clicks, and realigning the website to help decrease confusion and thus increase user experience. In conclusion, AI will not be able to replace human interaction and intuition… yet. The day is coming soon where it will be difficult to distinguish between the two, and that both can be helpful or harmful.
