FAITH at AgenticDev 2026 – Exploring the Future of Agentic AI in Software Engineering

On 12 October 2026, the FAITH project participated in the 1st International Workshop on Agentic AI for Next-Generation Software Development (AgenticDev 2026), held alongside the 41st IEEE/ACM International Conference on Automated Software Engineering (ASE 2026) in Munich, Germany.

FAITH was represented by Ioannis Kyprakis (FORTH) in the panel discussion “The AGenSE Alliance: Shaping the Future of Agentic Software Engineering”, which brought together representatives from four Horizon Europe projects: FAITH, AI4SWEng, ASTIR and MOSAICO.

During the discussion, Ioannis presented the FAITH project’s objectives and its approach to assessing and enhancing AI trustworthiness, highlighting the FAITH AI Trustworthiness Assessment Framework (AI_TAF) and its supporting tools. The presentation demonstrated how trustworthiness considerations can be integrated into the development and deployment of AI systems.

The panel explored the opportunities and challenges associated with increasingly autonomous and collaborative AI systems, addressing their potential impact on the future of software engineering. FAITH’s contribution placed particular emphasis on the importance of transparency, security, accountability, human oversight and continuous risk assessment as essential elements for the responsible development and adoption of Agentic AI.

The session also included an open discussion with the audience, providing an opportunity to address questions about AI trustworthiness and explore broader perspectives on the future role of Agentic AI in software engineering.

Through its participation, FAITH contributed to the exchange of knowledge among European research initiatives, shared its work on AI trustworthiness and reinforced the importance of making trustworthiness an integral part of next-generation agentic AI systems.
