However, -not until recently did engineers make it easy and ``fun'' to work with. -By now you probably have a pretty good idea of what AI can do. However, -you may not have used an AI assistant before. As the name suggests, an -AI assistant can help you develop code, speed up your writing with code -suggestions and allows you to focus on solving the problem at hand -rather. AI is a technology that is constantly improving. As engineers we -need to \emph{understand} how we can use AI as a tool to achieve our -goals more efficiently. This section cover good practices of how we can -implement AI and lists some AI assistant tools that we can use. - -\subsection{Good vs.~Bad uses of AI}\label{good-vs.-bad-uses-of-ai} - -Don't try to get AI to do work \emph{for you} but \emph{with you}. You -need to understand what you're doing. If you don't understand what the -AI is doing, then you're not in control of the work. You're not going to -go far until something unexpected happens. - -AI is a great learning tool, research as show that students can benefit -from using AI as personal tutor -\href{https://hbsp.harvard.edu/inspiring-minds/ai-as-personal-tutor}{more}. - -\subsection{Available tools}\label{available-tools} - -Below is a comprehensive list of tools that are available at not cost to -you. - -\begin{longtable}[]{@{}ll@{}} -\toprule\noalign{} -Name & Features \\ -\midrule\noalign{} -\endhead -\bottomrule\noalign{} -\endlastfoot -GitHub Copilot & Paid, but free for students.

There are also other extensions -for other IDE's however we will only cover some basic features that the -GithHub Copilot extension in VSCode can do. - -Copilot Comes with the following features: - Get code suggestions as you -type - Ask questions about the code - Inline chat to generate code. - -Fix and debug code using the chat window - Generate code documentation - -\href{https://code.visualstudio.com/}{VSCode} -\href{https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/copilot/setup-simplified}{Copilot -extension} - -\subsection{A note on intellectual -property}\label{a-note-on-intellectual-property} - -If you have a non-disclosure-agreement (NDA) with your employer, it may -not always be possible to use AI for security and integrity reasons as -you may risk exposing confidential information with third party vendors. -It is highly recommended to be able to be able to write program -independently of an AI assistant.
