Contribution
This paper discusses the integration of AI into IDEs, highlighting both the potential benefits and the new challenges they pose.
Findings
AIDEs automate routine coding tasks.
They raise concerns about bias and legal compliance.
Security vulnerabilities and educational impacts are significant issues.
Abstract
AI-Driven Development Environments (AIDEs) Integrate the power of modern AI into IDEs like Visual Studio Code and JetBrains IntelliJ. By leveraging massive language models and the plethora of openly available source code, AIDEs promise to automate many of the obvious, routine tasks in programming. At the same time, AIDEs come with new challenges to think about, such as bias, legal compliance, security vulnerabilities, and their impact on learning programming.
