Who will shape the future of AI? In fact, developers hold the key!
Hello everyone! I'm John, a blog writer specializing in AI technology. Recently, you may have heard a lot about ChatGPT. It's an AI that can converse just like a human, and its intelligence and interesting uses have been a hot topic around the world. There's hardly a day that goes by without seeing it on the news.
But did you know that behind the scenes of the AI news we usually see, there are actually bigger changes happening? The ones who really influence the future of AI technology are, yes, the people who develop various software and apps that make our lives more convenient."Developer"This time, I would like to talk about how important a role developers play in the world of AI right now, and what new trends are emerging, in a way that even beginners can understand.
Who are developers and what does it have to do with AI?
When you hear the word "developer," you might not have a clear idea of what kind of work they do. To put it simply, developers:A specialist who creates smartphone apps, builds websites, develops games, or designs complex systems for use in companies.They write "programs," which are blueprints that computers use to carry out a variety of tasks.
Now, AI is about to dramatically change the way developers work. By making good use of AI, development speed can be increased and complex functions that were previously difficult to achieve can be realized. That's why many IT companies are competing with each other to see how they can make developers comfortable using their AI tools.
More and more AI tools are coming to help developers!
So, what kind of AI tools are helping developers? Let's take a look at some notable trends.
Just like a smart assistant? "AI coding assistant"
The first thing I want to note is,"AI coding assistant"This is a tool that uses AI to help with the task of writing programs (coding). For example, when a developer gives instructions such as "I want this kind of function...", the AI automatically suggests possible programs and points out mistakes.
This AI assistant can be compared to"A very smart intern who sometimes loses focus"It seems that they are like that. Sometimes they give accurate advice and make development go smoothly, but sometimes they make strange suggestions and cause trouble for developers. Nevertheless, it seems that they are becoming an indispensable presence in many development sites.
The main battlefield for AI app development! "AI Platform Wars"
Next, the competition over "AI platforms" is also heating up. A platform is like a "foundation" or "base" for creating something. In other words,A set of tools and environments to facilitate the development of AI-based applicationsThat's what it means.
Which company's platform is easiest to use and can provide the most useful features? It is said that the company that wins this competition will have a very strong influence in the future AI market. At present, the platform provided by Microsoft is highly regarded by developers and seems to be one step ahead.
Oracle's AI Strategy
Do you know the company "Oracle"? It is a major company that provides a system called "database" to efficiently manage huge amounts of data, mainly for large companies. Oracle is also putting a lot of effort into the AI field.
To make AI smarter, a lot of good data (training data) is needed. Oracle is a database company that many companies entrust with their important data, so it has the great advantage of being able to provide AI services that utilize that data. However, it seems that the key to success will ultimately be whether developers think, "Oracle's AI is great!"
"API" and AI: the magical tools that connect apps
The term "API" has been appearing a lot in the news recently. It is an abbreviation for "Application Programming Interface". Simply put,A "window" or "glue" that connects different software and services to exchange information and call up functionsIt's like
By using this API, for example, it will be possible to easily incorporate the latest AI features into existing apps. It will become easier to introduce an AI chatbot into a weather forecast app so that it can tell you the weather in a more natural conversational way, or to add an AI recommendation feature to an e-commerce site. The combination of AI and APIs is likely to make the services around us even more convenient.
And much more! Latest news about AI (brief introduction)
There are many other topics related to developers and AI. I will pick out a few and introduce them here.
- Will AI discover and fix vulnerabilities in open source apps?: Free software (open source apps) created by developers around the world can sometimes have security weaknesses (vulnerabilities). A new AI tool is helping to efficiently find and fix these weaknesses.
- AI is also empowering corporate development!According to GitHub, a platform for sharing and managing programs, AI is supporting development work and improving productivity in many companies.
- AI can easily analyze even complex dataA new tool has also been released that uses AI to easily analyze various types of unorganized data (such as social media posts, audio, and images, known as "unstructured data") that have been difficult to analyze until now. This tool was developed by a data management service company called "Snowflake."
The light brought by the evolution of AI... and some disturbing shadows
The evolution of AI technology is a wonderful thing, but at the same time, there are some points to be wary of and some ironic situations that have arisen.
Are cybercriminals who rely too heavily on AI more likely to be caught?
While AI is useful, there are concerns that it could be misused. There are fears that malicious actors behind cyber attacks will use AI to develop more sophisticated methods. However, interestingly,Some cybercriminals are relying too much on AI and neglecting basic knowledge and skills, which makes them more likely to be caught.There is a saying that goes, "The foundations are important in everything."
Will your "tweets" also become learning data for AI?
A huge amount of information is posted by users on Reddit, a huge Internet bulletin board site, every day. In fact, the data of these natural conversations and discussions by ordinary users is used as a valuable "textbook" for training many AI models. Recently, Reddit itself has released a new tool that uses AI to analyze this user-generated content and propose more effective advertising strategies to advertisers. What we write casually is also an important source of information for AI.
The risk of "careless mistakes" lurking behind convenience
AI coding assistants that help developers are very useful, but they also have some unexpected pitfalls. According to one report, in a development project that introduced an AI assistant, the developers were unable to remember passwords or private keys.The risk of "information leakage," where information that absolutely must not be leaked is written directly into the program code, was 40% higher than in projects that did not implement the technology.That's right. Just because it's convenient doesn't mean you should let your guard down; you could end up being caught off guard in an unexpected place. It looks like developers will need to be even more careful.
A word from John
After reading this article, I realized once again that the evolution of AI really depends on the efforts of developers who are working behind the scenes. It's great to see new AI tools constantly coming out and making our lives more convenient.
However, no matter how smart an AI is, it all depends on the people who use it. I think it's important to use it wisely, making the most of its benefits while also keeping an eye on its disadvantages and risks. I'd like to continue to share the fascinating workings of AI in an easy-to-understand way!
