AI in Software Development: Tools, Techniques, and Ethics

A comprehensive look into the evolving landscape of AI-assisted software development. Collectively, how are Large Language Models (LLMs) like OpenAI's GPT series (Codex, GPT-4, GPT-4o) into developer workflows for code generation, debugging, documentation, and automation, significantly boosting productivity and efficiency. However, the sources also highlight critical considerations such as prompt engineering and the broader concept of context engineering, emphasizing the need for specific and well-structured input to maximize AI effectiveness and avoid common pitfalls like vague prompts or task overloading. Furthermore, research highlights the ethical implications and limitations of using AI in coding, including concerns about bias, misinformation, faulty code, security vulnerabilities, and copyright infringement, stressing the importance of human oversight, critical review, and responsible practices to ensure code quality and mitigate risks.
