AI Pair

AI pair programming research explores the collaboration between human programmers and AI systems, primarily large language models (LLMs), to improve software development efficiency and quality. Current research focuses on evaluating the impact of these AI partners on productivity, code quality, and developer experience, often comparing human-AI pairings to traditional human-human pair programming. Findings suggest that while AI pair programmers can boost productivity, particularly for experienced developers, challenges remain in addressing issues like increased integration time and ensuring code correctness. This field holds significant potential for transforming software engineering practices by augmenting human capabilities and potentially democratizing access to advanced programming skills.
