A New AI Can Now Write Software Code for You - Asgardia Space News

BAYOU is an deep learning tool that essentially functions as a search engine for coding: use a few keywords to tell it what sort of program you want to create and it will spit out java code that will accomplish what you're looking for, based on its best guess. A team of computer scientists from Rice University developed the tool with funding from both from the military and Google. In a study published this month on the preprint server arXiv, they outline how they built BAYOU and what kinds of problems it can help programmers solve. In essence, BAYOU read the source code for around 1500 Android apps, which works out to 100 million lines of Java. All that code was fed through BAYOU's neural net, resulting in AI that can program other software.
