A new paper by MIT CSAIL researchers maps the many software-engineering tasks beyond code generation, identifies bottlenecks, and highlights research directions to overcome them. The goal: to let humans focus on high-level design, while routine work is automated (Credits: Alex Shipps/MIT CSAIL, using assets from Shutterstock and Pixabay).

Imagine a future where artificial intelligence quietly shoulders the drudgery of software development: refactoring tangled code, migrating legacy systems, and hunting down race conditions, so that human engineers can devote themselves to architecture, design, and the genuinely novel problems still beyond a machine’s reach. Recent advances appear to have nudged that future tantalizingly close, but a new paper by researchers at MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) and several collaborating institutions argues that this potential future reality demands a hard look at present-day challenges.
