Will DeepMind's AlphaCode Replace Programmers? - KDnuggets

The Alphabet subsidiary DeepMind has done it again, and this time, they are testing the boundaries of AI in software development sectors. DeepMind's AlphaCode was tested against human performance on coding challenges and achieved rank among the top 54% of human coders on Codeforces. This is a remarkable achievement as it is one of its kind. There are other code generation machine learning models, such as OpenAI Codex, but none of them tried to compete with human programmers. A coding challenge is like solving puzzles. To solve these challenges, an individual must have an understanding of logic, math, and programming skills.
