AI, or artificial intelligence, is technology that attempts to simulate human cognitive function. A popular use case right now is ChatGPT, which allows you to conversationally ask questions to a chatbot and get back relevant information because the AI can understand what you’re asking in plain language. Beyond just answering questions, these AIs are capable of writing code, creating detailed plans based on your specifications, summarizing documents, and more.
AI has made its way into the software development space in a number of ways. AI can be baked into applications to improve end user experience by creating personalized recommendations and tailoring experiences to the end user. AI-assisted development tools can complete the piece of code you started writing, or even offer suggestions for how to improve your code. Generative AI chatbots, such as ChatGPT, can be used to ask for specific code snippets to perform a task, can explain what is happening in a piece of code, or can be used to troubleshoot why your code isn’t working as intended.
