AB  - <p style="text-align:justify;">Generative artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative technology in software development, significantly influencing how software is designed, developed, and maintained. This study examines the impact of generative AI on developer productivity, code quality, and the overall efficiency of the software development lifecycle using a descriptive research approach based on secondary data. The analysis draws upon peer-reviewed journals, industry reports, and academic publications to identify key trends and patterns in AI-assisted software engineering. The findings indicate that generative AI enhances productivity by automating repetitive tasks such as code generation, debugging, and documentation, thereby reducing development time and effort. It also facilitates rapid prototyping and supports continuous integration and deployment processes. However, the study highlights concerns related to the reliability and security of AI-generated code, as well as ethical issues including data privacy and intellectual property rights. Furthermore, the adoption of generative AI is reshaping the role of software developers, requiring new skills such as prompt engineering and AI oversight. The study concludes that while generative AI offers substantial benefits, its effective implementation requires a balanced approach that combines technological capabilities with human expertise to ensure accuracy, security, and ethical compliance.</p>
