Abstract: Human-centred Software Engineering and Cybersecurity are being impacted heavily, just like most other areas, by the emergence of generative AI technologies. How will generative AI help us achieve the key themes in HCSE&CS? How might generative AI get in the way / mean we DON’T achieve them? What are the key HCSE&CS issues with generative AI technologies? What are the key generative AI issues with HCSE&CS? What key future research and practice directions should we take to best synergize HCSE&CS and generative AI?

Bio: John Grundy is Australian Laureate Fellow and Professor of Software Engineering at Monash University where he leads the Human-centric Software Engineering (‘HumaniSE’) lab. He has published in Automated Software Engineeering conference and journal for the past 25 years. His key interests include human-centrerd software engineering theories, techniques and tools, and use of various approaches to automation in software engineering. He is particularly interested in human-centric automated software engineering.
