Peter Mรผller, whatโ€™s the point of studying computer science if AI is better at coding? As AI chatbots steadily improve their coding capabilities, many young people are wondering whether it still makes sense to study computer science. Their fears are unfounded, says ETH computer scientis...

Whatโ€™s the point of studying computer science if #AI can write code?

In a new Perspectives article from @ethz.ch, Professor Peter Mรผller argues this misses the bigger picture. Computer science is far more than coding and human expertise remains essential.
