AI Code Generators: Boosting Innovation and Streamlining Developers' Task

This IDC Perspective offers insights into generative AI code generators and how they are playing an important role in boosting developers' efficiency and productivity in Asia and the Pacific. It also provides a brief overview of popular vendors' AI code–generator products based on large language models. Generative AI could be used by businesses to drive innovation, automate operations, enhance decision making, improve efficiency and productivity, and personalize the consumer experience. According to the findings of IDC's 2023 Future Enterprise Resiliency and Spending Survey, Wave 2, 38.9% of firms in the region are doing some initial exploration of potential use cases of generative AI. With the emergence of AI and machine learning, AI code generators driven by language models have grown in popularity among developers hoping to simplify their workflow and increase productivity. "Generative AI serves as an assistive engine for software engineers, assisting them in the coding process, improving their efficiency and productivity throughout the software development life cycle. Furthermore, Generative AI code generators will empower developers and non-developers with insights, enabling them to design new and efficient solutions targeted towards a specific set of use cases across industries," says Dhiraj Badgujar, senior research manager, IDC Asia/Pacific's Future of Digital Innovation practice and DevOps Program.
