''' A.I. -STUDENTS- A.I. '''

IT HAS CERTAINLY BEGUN TO DAWN : THAT A.I. prompts evolution - and not extinction, of coders. Let's visualize the full picture : software engineers..... Assistant programs help '' software engineers '' - who are in a growing demand cycle.

SCIENTIST JOHN GIORGI uses artificial intelligence to make artificial intelligence. This 29 year-year-old computer scientist creates software for a healthcare startup that records and summarizes patients visits for doctors, freeing them from hours spent typing up clinical notes.

To do so, Mr. Georgia has his own timesaving helper : an A.I. coding assistant. He taps a few keys and the software tool suggests the rest of the line of code. It can also recommend changes, fetch data,  identify bugs and run basic tests.

Even though the A.I. makes some mistakes, it saves him up to an hour many, many days. '' I can't imagine working without it now, '' Mr. Giorgi said.

That sentiment is getting increasingly common among software developers, who are at the forefront of adopting A.I. agents, assistant programs tailored to help employees do their jobs in fields including. customer service and manufacturing.

The rapid improvement of the technology has been accompanied by dire warnings that A.I. could soon automate away millions of jobs - and software developers have been singled out as prime targets.

But the outlook for software developers is more likely evolution than extinction, according to experienced software engineers, industry analysts and academics. For decades, better tools have automated some coding tasks, but the demand for software and the people who make it has only increased.

A.I., they say, will accelerate that trend and level up the art and craft of software design. '' The skills software developers need will change significantly, but A.I. will not eliminate the need for them,'' said Araval Dayaratna, and analyst at IDC, a technology research firm '' Not anytime soon anyway.''

The outlook for software engineers offers a window into the impact that generative A.I., which can already converse with humanlike fluency and create realistic images and videos, reflect a basic uncertainty : How fast will the technology improve, and how far it can go?

Mark Zuckerberg, Meta's chief executive, stirred alarm among developers last month when he predicted that A.I. technology sometimes this year would effectively match the performance of a midlevel  software engineer, though he later suggested that it could free up human developers to be more creative.

Most software engineers do far more than churn out code, designing products, choosing programming languages, troubleshooting problems and gathering feedback from users.

Still, nearly two-thirds of software developers are already using A.I. coding tools, according to a survey by Evans Data, a research firm.

The A.I. coding helpers, software engineers say, are steadily becoming more capable and reliable.

Fueling the progress is a wealth of high-quality data used to train them - online software portfolios, coding question-and-answer websites, and documentation and problem-solving ideas posted by developers.

The A.I. software can then generate more accurate results and far fewer wayward '' hallucinations, '' in which it offers false and nonsensical information, than a chatbot trained on the rambling cacophony of the internet as a whole.

'' A.I. will deeply affect the job of software developers, and it will happen faster for their occupation than for others,'' said David Autor, a labor economist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
