The end of programming?

Foredrag — Hver anden tirsdag til frokost giver en DIKU forsker en præsentation af et specifikt forskningsområde. Foredragene vil give dig et indblik i DIKUs forskellige forskningsområder, motivere dig til at følge din interesse inden for datalogi og forberede dig til at vælge et emne til dine projekter.

On Tuesday, 20th of May from 12.15-13.00 in Small UP1, Hans Hüttel from the PLTC section will speak at DIKU Bits.

There have been lots of claims about what chatbots such as ChatGPT that are based on large language models (LLMs) can actually do. Some now claim that most software in the future that is not “simple” will take the form of AI systems, and that any software not of this form will be automatically generated by chatbots. A consequence of this rather sweeping claim is that since there is no need to program, there is no need to study programming or properties of programs. Computer science can finally go away!

In this DIKU Bits talk, Hans will try to convince you that this is not the case and hopefully convince you to stay in computer science – He would hate to see you leave. His arguments come from theoretical computer science and the study of program synthesis.

DIKU Bits is the perfect place to spark your inspiration, fuel interests, and get closer to research at DIKU. Whether you are considering a project out of scope, want to get inspired for an upcoming bachelor project or thesis, or simply find the topic exciting, this is the perfect opportunity for you to expand your horizons.
