In recent years, the programming capabilities of Artificial Intelligence (AI) have been continuously evolving, but they have not yet reached perfection. Recently, Max Woolf, a senior data scientist at BuzzFeed, discovered through experiments that if continuous prompts for 'writing better code' are provided to large language models (LLMs), AI can indeed generate higher quality code. This finding has garnered widespread attention, with renowned AI scientists emphasizing the importance of iteration and prompt design. In Woolf's experiment,

Recently, AI programming assistants have become incredibly popular, claiming to help programmers write code and improve efficiency. Many programmers even consider it a 'savior', eager to use it for coding every day. However, a study from Stanford University has doused the enthusiasm of these 'zealous fans' with cold water: AI programming assistants may be a 'security nightmare'! Stanford researchers gathered 47 programmers to complete five security-related coding tasks, covering Python, JavaScript, and C languages. The results revealed...

Recently, the famous programming competition platform Codeforces made an important decision - to prohibit the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in programming contests. With the rapid enhancement of AI programming capabilities, Codeforces founder Mikhail Mirzayanov stated that this decision is necessary as the development of neural networks has reached 'a new height that cannot be ignored'. Image source note: The image is generated by AI, image authorized by service provider Midjourney. This new regulation mainly targets the participants of the competitions.

As AI continues to improve its coding capabilities, the structure of software development teams is facing significant changes, with the prospects for junior developers and Quality Assurance (QA) positions becoming precarious. An increasing number of Chief Information Officers (CIOs) and heads of development teams are indicating that with the widespread adoption of AI assistants, they will reassess the composition of their teams, which will mainly rely on AI experts and senior developers to oversee AI-generated code.

This funding round attracted several industry heavyweights, including Google's Jeff Dean and Meta.

According to research by cloud security company Checkmarx, although 15% of companies explicitly ban the use of AI programming tools, nearly all development teams (99%) are still using these tools. Only 29% of companies have established governance frameworks for generative AI tools, while 70% of companies have not developed a centralized strategy, leading to ad-hoc procurement decisions across departments and a lack of unified management. Security concerns are increasingly being raised, with 80% of respondents worried about potential threats posed by AI, especially the 'hallucination' issue. Despite these worries, 4
