Currently, the only research appearing to investigate the phenomenon consists of a small number of case studies and experience reports that promote the success of XP in development environments. The field of XP/Agile has seen tremendous growth since the early 2000s, and many people have begun using the practices in their organizations. However, very little research into XP/AM has been conducted. As such, there are few case studies to assist in understanding the practices. This article reviews existing research related to XP/Agile, recommending new areas that could benefit from further study. Since nearly all empirical XP research is on pairs programming, a closer look into other core practices would be beneficial. It might also be possible to group related concepts together for study purposes. Finally, much has been said about how XP can simply be repackaged or carried over from previous practice ideas which need further investigation.

AI also has the ability to learn and improve over time, which means that there is no clear line between when a machine is acting autonomously and when it is simply following instructions written by its programmers. The Reasonable Robot is a seminal text that explores the relationship between robots and humans in law, business and technology. Drawing on the latest developments in artificial intelligence, this ground-breaking book explores the global power shift that has transformed our world and presents a first-of-its-kind global framework for understanding the impact of advances in artificial intelligence and robotics on society.
