Hyderabad: An IIT Guwahati alumnus, Sachit Kuhar, is working at the forefront of artificial intelligence research focused on building systems that can write and maintain software automatically. Over the past few years, he has contributed to advanced AI technologies such as Amazon’s CodeWhisperer, an AI model that helps programmers generate code using simple instructions, and Kiro, a new coding environment where AI assists developers throughout the software development process.
These technologies help developers build applications faster, reduce errors and simplify software maintenance. They are used by hundreds of thousands of software developers worldwide. Sachit said his long-term objective is to enable every person to create code for anything they want, regardless of their technical background.
Recently, he published UT-Fix, a research work presented at OOPSLA in Singapore, a leading international conference on programming languages and software engineering. “Writing test code will soon be an entirely automated process, with humans acting primarily as verifiers,” Sachit said.
