Curious if AI developer tools can make Googlers faster? Check out our new paper to find out!
Google developers are 21% faster with AI! 🔥 Our randomized controlled trial of the impact of AI on coding speed is now published on arXiv! arxiv.org/abs/2410.12944 This study with 96 Google engineers shows that developers who use AI tools are 21% increase faster on task.

Estimating notions of unfairness/inequity is hard as it requires that data captures all features that influenced decision-making. But what if it doesn't? In our work (arxiv.org/abs/2403.14713), we answer this question w/ @dylanjsam @MichaelOberst @zacharylipton @brwilder

I had a great time joining @michaelhilton and 17-313 students. Observing how people use new tools is always intriguing, but seeing how students use #ChatGPT was particularly fascinating. Had a great discussion & found many research questions to ask. Thank you for the opportunity!
Last week, thanks to help from @daye_nam, we used a class in Foundations of Software Engineering (cmu-313.github.io/) to collaboratively learn about #ChatGPT. It was very interesting, and I would like to share some observations here. a 🧵
