Explore the potential of applying Machine Learning to "Big Code"—massive corpora of successful, widely used software systems. Learn how a new data-driven approach is emerging to influence the design of software development tools by leveraging the statistical distributional properties found in these large code bases.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a science focused on creating intelligent machines mimicking human intelligence like perception, reasoning, learning, and problem-solving. This transformative technology impacts society and the economy across healthcare, education, manufacturing, and security. AI offers advantages like speed, handling complexity, high success rates, and efficiency, while also posing challenges such as job losses, high development costs, limited creativity, security risks, and difficulties with ambiguity and ethical decisions. Despite these challenges, AI development continues rapidly.
