AI will significantly impact SQA by automating repetitive testing tasks, such as regression and performance testing, through intelligent test generation and execution. This will shift the role towards designing more complex test scenarios, analyzing AI-driven insights, and testing AI systems themselves, requiring a deeper understanding of AI principles.
