5. What is Pair Programming?
Pair programming is a software development technique where two
programmers work together at one workstation.
It involves a driver who writes the code and an observer/navigator who
reviews each line as it's written.
Benefits include improved code quality, knowledge sharing, and faster
problem-solving.
7. Large Language Model
Large Language Models, like GPT-3.5, are
advanced AI models capable of understanding and
generating human-like text.
GPT-3.5 architecture is built on deep neural
networks, enabling it to process and generate
contextually relevant text.
These models play a crucial role in natural language
processing and understanding.
9. Benefits of Pair Programming

bugs and issues are caught early.
Knowledge Sharing: Developers learn from each other,
leading to skill development and knowledge transfer.
Faster Problem-Solving: Collaboration leads to quicker
identification and resolution of issues.
Reduced Debugging Time: Early bug detection means
less time spent debugging in later stages.

Developers can leverage the language model to quickly generate
code snippets, saving time and effort.
15. Improve Existing Code
Large Language Model can help us in rewrite your code in the
way that is recommended for that programming language.
We can ask an LLM to refactor our code in a manner that
adheres more closely to programming language conventions and
best practices.
We can ask for multiple ways of rewriting your code.
We can ask the model also to recommend the model which is the
method is best and adheres to the programming language and
best practices.
16. Code Review and Assistance
Identifying Code Smells and Anti-Patterns:
o Language models can analyse code for common issues,
such as code smells and anti-patterns.
Offering Suggestions for Improvements:
o The model provides constructive feedback during code
reviews, aiding in code quality improvement.
17. Writing Test Cases
Creating effective test cases is paramount for ensuring the
robustness and reliability of applications.
LLM like GPT-3.5, LLMA, Palm can significantly enhance the
process of writing test cases by providing intelligent suggestion and
automating certain aspect of the task
Developers can leverage the model capabilities to articulate the
test cases effectively, LLM can suggest the relevant scenarios,
input and expected output.
LLM can help identify the edge cases and scenarios that might be
overlooked, leading to more comprehensive test coverage.
18. Code Debugging
Detecting Potential Bugs through Code Analysis: Language
models can analyze code and identify potential bugs or
vulnerabilities.
Proposing Fixes for Common Programming Errors: Developers
receive suggestions for fixing common programming errors,
improving code robustness.
We can use an LLM to give us insights and check for blind spots
but remember to make sure that the generated code is doing what
we want it to do.
19. Documentation Support
Generating Inline Documentation
o Large Language models can assist in generating inline
documentation, improving code readability.
Improving Code Comments for Better Understanding:
o Developers can utilize language models to enhance code
comments for better understanding and maintainability.
20. Collaborative Problem Solving
Facilitating Real-Time Problem-Solving Discussions:
o Large Language models support collaborative problem-
solving discussions, providing insights and suggestions.
Providing Insights and Alternative Solutions:
o Developers can explore different solutions and receive
insights from the language model, fostering creativity.
22. Challenges and Consideration
Ethical Considerations in AI-Powered Development:
o Addressing potential ethical concerns and biases in AI models.
Balancing Automation with Human Intuition:
o Finding the right balance between automated suggestions and
human decision-making.
Handling Biases in Language Models:
o Ensuring fairness and unbiased recommendations.
Ensuring Code Ownership and Understanding:
o Developers should maintain ownership and understanding of
the code produced with the assistance of language models.
24. Best Practices
Establishing Clear Communication Channels:
o Ensuring effective communication between developers and the
language model.
Setting Expectations for Both Developers and the Language Model:
o Clearly defining the roles and expectations of developers and the
language model.
Regularly Updating and Fine-Tuning the Language Model:
o Keeping the language model up-to-date and refining its
capabilities over time.
Encouraging Continuous Learning and Adaptation:
o Fostering a culture of continuous learning and adaptation to new
tools and technologies.
26. Responsible AI: Nurturing Ethical
Innovation
In an era dominated by technological advancements, the
responsible development and deployment of Artificial Intelligence
(AI) are paramount.
Responsible AI refers to the practice of creating and using
artificial intelligence in a way that aligns with ethical principles,
ensuring fairness, transparency, accountability, and the well-
being of individuals and society.
27. Principles of Responsible AI
Transparency: Clarify the Decision-Making Process
Transparent AI systems provide users with insights into how decisions
are made, fostering trust and understanding. Make transparency a
cornerstone of your AI development process.
Fairness: Guard Against Bias and Discrimination
Ensure that AI applications are fair and unbiased, treating all individuals
and groups equitably. Regularly audit and refine algorithms to mitigate
unintended biases.
28. Principles of Responsible AI
Accountability: Define Responsibility and Ownership
Establish clear lines of responsibility for the development, deployment, and
outcomes of AI systems. This ensures accountability for any ethical or
operational issues that may arise.
Privacy: Protect User Data
Respect user privacy by implementing robust data protection measures.
Clearly communicate how AI systems handle and store personal information.
Robustness: Prepare for Unintended Consequences
Build AI systems that are resilient to adversarial attacks and unintended
consequences. Regularly test and update algorithms to adapt to evolving
challenges.
29. Recommended Practices in Responsible AI
Human Centred Design Approach
o The way actual users experience your system is essential to
assessing the true impact of its predictions, recommendations, and
decisions.
o Design features with appropriate disclosures built-in: clarity and
control is crucial to a good user experience.
o Engage with a diverse set of users and use-case scenarios and
incorporate feedback before and throughout project development.
This will build a rich variety of user perspectives into the project and
increase the number of people who benefit from the technology.
Assessment of training and monitoring employing multiple metrics
o The use of several metrics rather than a single one will help you to
understand tradeoffs between different kinds of errors and
experiences.
o Ensure that your metrics are appropriate for the context and goals of
your system, e.g., a fire alarm system should have high recall, even if
that means the occasional false alarm.
30. Recommended Practices in Responsible AI
Whenever feasible, inspect your raw data directly
o ML models will reflect the data they are trained on, so analyze your raw
data carefully to ensure you understand it. In cases where this is not
possible, e.g., with sensitive raw data, understand your input data as
much as possible while respecting privacy; for example by computing
aggregate, anonymized summaries.
Testing
o To make sure the AI system is working as intended and can be trusted.
conduct rigorous unit tests to test each component of the system in
isolation.
o Conducting integration tests to understand how individual ML
components interact with other parts of the overall system.
o Proactively detect input drift by testing the statistics of the inputs to the
AI system to make sure they are not changing in unexpected ways.
31. Recommended Practices in Responsible AI
Know the limitation of your model and dataset
Machine learning models today are largely a reflection of the patterns of
their training data. It is therefore important to communicate the scope and
coverage of the training, hence clarifying the capability and limitations of
the models. E.g., a shoe detector trained with stock photos can work best
with stock photos but has limited capability when tested with user-
generated cellphone photos.
Ensure Continuous Monitoring After Deployment
o Regularly assess the performance and impact of AI systems, employing
ongoing monitoring to identify and address any emerging ethical
concerns.
o Continued monitoring will ensure your model takes real-world
performance and user feedback
