The AI company DeepMind has previously solved problems from games to protein folding, and now it has built a tool that can create working code to solve complex software challenges
DeepMind, a UK-based AI company, has taught some of its machines to write computer software – and it performs almost as well as an average human programmer when judged in competition.
AlphaCode works by training a neural network on lots of coding samples, sourced from the software repository GitHub and previous entrants to competitions on Codeforces. When it is presented with a novel problem, it creates a massive number of solutions in both C++ and Python programming languages. It then filters and ranks these into a top 10. Finally, these were assessed by humans and the best were submitted into the competitions.
At Copilot’s launch, GitHub said that about 0.1 per cent of its code suggestions may contain “some snippets” of verbatim source code from the training set. The company also warned that it is possible for Copilot to output genuine personal data such as phone numbers, email addresses or names, and that outputted code may offer “biased, discriminatory, abusive, or offensive outputs” or include security flaws. It says that code should be vetted and tested before use.
