IBM CodeNet: Artificial Intelligence That Can Program Computers And Solve A $100 Billion Legacy Code Problem

Computer scientists have long toyed with the idea of creating computers that could write programs for other computers. Artificial intelligence is an obvious technology for the task. It has been previously used for programming on a small scale but unfortunately the results have been limited. Artificial intelligence is one of our most powerful and versatile technologies in use today. It can understand and generate speech, analyze documents, recognize images and characters, drive cars, pilot war planes, write papers, and perform thousands of other valuable operations.
