Generative AI for writing (research) software Copy of Compact course: Generative AI for writing (research) software

This is a half day course.

Basic Python knowledge is required. Participants need a laptop/PC with Visual Studio Code installed and a working Python environment. Participants need to have access to GitHub copilot (either through free trial, individual license such as GitHub student (free), or other form of license).

Generative AI is emerging as a major creative force that supports humans in content creation.  Specifically trained models can support software developers with their software projects and  lead to time savings and a shift in what aspects of generating software are more important on a day-to-day basis. In this course, we will learn how to set up and use AI tools in software development projects. Best practices in using such tools, as well as recommendations how to use them efficiently and safely will be introduced.

After the course participants will be able to

• Use AI-assistance in a coding environment
• Know about the limitations of these tools
• Be aware of legal and ethical implications
• Be aware of privacy and security concerns in the use of such tools
